Nineveh in Jonah 1
NIN-uh-vuh
This place shows up in Jonah 1:2: ““Arise, go to Nineveh, that great city, and preach against it, for their wickedness has come up before me.”” The Bible is not talking about a sticker. It is talking about a real place in a real place.
Jonah 1:2
““Arise, go to Nineveh, that great city, and preach against it, for their wickedness has come up before me.””
What kids can learn
When you hear nineveh in Jonah, remember the sentence around it. God put this place in the story on purpose.
