World English Bible · with a gazetteer of place names
The Book of Jonah is geographical in a way the prophetic books rarely are: its plot moves between three named places — Joppa, Tarshish, Nineveh — and the open sea between them. The west of the world (Tarshish, generally identified with Tartessos in southern Spain) and the east (Nineveh, the Assyrian capital opposite modern Mosul), pivoting on a harbor (Joppa, modern Jaffa) in between. The book is, on one reading, a parable about how far one can flee.
This edition pairs the text of the World English Bible (public domain) with a map of the places named in each chapter. Identifications follow the Anchor Bible Dictionary, with footnotes recording the disputed Tarshish question.
