why does she have to be Yonah?
pardon the pun, but Rebecca is a perfectly orthodox name.
she decided to convert to Judaism, she already had a nice matriarchal name.
Because cows can't help but tell on themselves.
Yonah/Jonah is arguably the biggest asshole in the Old Testament. Others killed more people or did shitty things, but Jonah is the worst and shittiest asshole this side of German fetish porn.
After the whole whale thing, Jonah goes and delivers his message to Nineveh. The Ninevans repent and knock off their sinful ways. God decides not to kill them all.
Is Jonah happy? Fuck no. Jonah is pissed off and pouts because he didn't get to see God kill a city full of people.
Jonah had gone out and sat down at a place east of the city. There he made himself a shelter, sat in its shade and waited to see what would happen to the city. Then the Lord God provided a leafy plant and made it grow up over Jonah to give shade for his head to ease his discomfort, and Jonah was very happy about the plant. But at dawn the next day God provided a worm, which chewed the plant so that it withered. When the sun rose, God provided a scorching east wind, and the sun blazed on Jonah’s head so that he grew faint. He wanted to die, and said, “It would be better for me to die than to live.”
But God said to Jonah, “Is it right for you to be angry about the plant?”
“It is,” he said. “And I’m so angry I wish I were dead.”
But the Lord said, “You have been concerned about this plant, though you did not tend it or make it grow. It sprang up overnight and died overnight. And should I not have concern for the great city of Nineveh, in which there are more than a hundred and twenty thousand people who cannot tell their right hand from their left—and also many animals?”
Jonah 4:5-10
