Jamieson-Fausset-Brown on Jonah 1:1
COM commentary-section · status:draft · license:PD
1. Jonah —meaning in Hebrew, "dove." Compare Genesis 8:8 ; Genesis 8:9 , where the dove in vain seeks rest after flying from Noah and the ark: so Jonah. GROTIUS not so well explains it, "one sprung from Greece" or Ionia, where there were prophets called Amythaonidæ. Amittai — Hebrew for "truth," "truth-telling"; appropriate to a prophet. return to ' Top of Page ' <a name="verse-2" class="com-number"
