God sends Jonah on a mission, and Jonah runs to Tarshish to avoid doing his calling. God sends a storm and the sailors determine through lots that God is angry with Jonah, and Jonah asks to be thrown in the sea to save the entire ship. The sailors attempt to save the ship without doing what he asked, but ultimately only throwing him into the sea to certain death will save the ship. Many questions arise in this chapter, and we put forth the questions, to be answered in the next podcast.
