Jona 2

Studija

   

1 Und Jehova bestellte einen großen Fisch, um Jona zu verschlingen; und Jona war im Bauche des Fisches drei Tage und drei Nächte.

2 Und Jona betete zu Jehova, seinem Gott, aus dem Bauche des Fisches und sprach:

3 Ich rief aus meiner Bedrängnis zu Jehova, und er antwortete mir; ich schrie aus dem Schoße des Scheols, du hörtest meine Stimme.

4 Denn du hattest mich in die Tiefe, in das Herz der Meere geworfen, und der Strom umschloß mich; alle deine Wogen und deine Wellen fuhren über mich hin.

5 Und ich sprach (Eig. Ich zwar sprach) :Verstoßen bin ich aus deinen Augen; dennoch werde ich wieder hinschauen nach deinem heiligen Tempel.

6 Die Wasser umfingen mich bis an die Seele, die Tiefe umschloß mich, das Meergras schlang sich um mein Haupt.

7 Ich fuhr hinab zu den Gründen der Berge; der Erde iegel waren hinter mir auf ewig. Da führtest du mein Leben aus der Grube herauf, Jehova, mein Gott.

8 Als meine Seele in mir verschmachtete, gedachte ich Jehovas, und zu dir kam mein Gebet in deinen heiligen Tempel. (O. Palast)

9 Die auf nichtige Götzen achten, verlassen ihre Gnade (O. ihre Güte, d. h. den, der ihre Güte ist; vergl. Ps. 144,2.)

10 Ich aber werde dir opfern mit der Stimme des Lobes (O. Dankes;) was ich gelobt habe, werde ich bezahlen. Bei Jehova (Eig. Jehovas) ist die ettung. Und Jehova befahl dem Fische, und er spie Jona an das Land aus.

Jonathan

  
David and Jonathan, by Rembrandt

Jonathan is the son of Saul, the first king of Israel and the heir to the throne. But he also is the friend of David, the shepherd, who has been secretly anointed by Samuel to be king after Saul. (1 Samuel 16:11-13) While you might think this would cause enmity and anger in Jonathan, it does not. Jonathan  "loved him as his own soul" (I Samuel 18:3-4).  Saul, however, has ambivalent feelings. At first he seems to love David, but later tries to kill him. Eventually both Saul and Jonathan are killed in a battle against the Philistines. Jonathan, as the son of one and the friend of the other, seems to represent something in between, those parts of the literal sense where the internal sense is clearly presented. Such places are for example, the Ten Commandments, Deuteronomy 30:11-19, Micah 6:8, the Two Great Commandments, plus many others.

(Reference: Micah 6)

Micah 6

1 Listen now to what Yahweh says: "Arise, plead your case before the mountains, and let the hills hear what you have to say.

2 Hear, you mountains, Yahweh's controversy, and you enduring foundations of the earth; for Yahweh has a controversy with his people, and he will contend with Israel.

3 My people, what have I done to you? How have I burdened you? Answer me!

4 For I brought you up out of the land of Egypt, and redeemed you out of the house of bondage. I sent before you Moses, Aaron, and Miriam.

5 My people, remember now what Balak king of Moab devised, and what Balaam the son of Beor answered him from Shittim to Gilgal, that you may know the righteous acts of Yahweh."

6 How shall I come before Yahweh, and bow myself before the exalted God? Shall I come before him with burnt offerings, with calves a year old?

7 Will Yahweh be pleased with thousands of rams? With tens of thousands of rivers of oil? Shall I give my firstborn for my disobedience? The fruit of my body for the sin of my soul?

8 He has shown you, O man, what is good. What does Yahweh require of you, but to act justly, to love mercy, and to walk humbly with your God?

9 Yahweh's voice calls to the city, and wisdom sees your name: "Listen to the rod, and he who appointed it.

10 Are there yet treasures of wickedness in the house of the wicked, and a short ephah that is accursed?

11 Shall I be pure with dishonest scales, and with a bag of deceitful weights?

12 Her rich men are full of violence, her inhabitants speak lies, and their tongue is deceitful in their speech.

13 Therefore I also have struck you with a grievous wound. I have made you desolate because of your sins.

14 You shall eat, but not be satisfied. Your humiliation will be in your midst. You will store up, but not save; and that which you save I will give up to the sword.

15 You will sow, but won't reap. You will tread the olives, but won't anoint yourself with oil; and crush grapes, but won't drink the wine.

16 For the statutes of Omri are kept, and all the works of the house of Ahab. You walk in their counsels, that I may make you a ruin, and her inhabitants a hissing; And you will bear the reproach of my people."
