  • Don Swaringen on Jonah 1 - 2 years ago
    Is Jonah's home town or area known? Chapter 1 verse 3 says he went down to Joppa, but where was he when he received the call? thank you

    Hello Don. We're not told exactly where Jonah was when he received the Word of the LORD, but we do know that he was originally from Gathhepher ( 2 Kings 14:25). This town is difficult to locate (if you're trying to place it on a modern map), as the name & maybe the town itself has since long gone. But from my old maps, it was located west of the Sea of Galilee (formerly, Sea of Chinnereth). When Canaan was divided amonst the twelve tribes, this town was a part of Zebulun's heritage & later was in the area of Galilee, in Jesus' Days.
