Nineveh in Jonah 3
NIN-uh-vuh
This place shows up in Jonah 3:2: ““Arise, go to Nineveh, that great city, and preach to it the message that I give you.”” The Bible is not talking about a sticker. It is talking about a real place in a real place.
Jonah 3:2
““Arise, go to Nineveh, that great city, and preach to it the message that I give you.””
What kids can learn
When you hear nineveh in Jonah, remember the sentence around it. God put this place in the story on purpose.
Read Jonah 3:2 again tomorrow and ask what the place is doing in the sentence, not only what it looks like.
