Nineveh in Jonah 4
NIN-uh-vuh
This place shows up in Jonah 4:11: “Shouldn’t I be concerned for Nineveh, that great city, in which are more than one hundred twenty thousand persons who can’t discern…” The Bible is not talking about a sticker. It is talking about a real place in a real place.
Jonah 4:11
“Shouldn’t I be concerned for Nineveh, that great city, in which are more than one hundred twenty thousand persons who can’t discern between their right hand and their left hand; and also much livestock?””
