There is no specific place in the Bible where a 'whale' is mentioned.
Some feel that the creature that swallowed Jonah was a whale, but The Bible simply states that it was " a great fish ", the kind of fish not being named. (Jonah 1:17) Jesus backs that up at Matthew 12:40. Though it could have been a sperm whale, or a white shark or even something from groups thought long extinct, the Bible does not say.
Psalm 104:25, 26 speaks of "Leviathan" which appears to be some form of large, strong aquatic creature, and describes it as "playing' in the sea' where ships travel, and some people suggest that the term here applies to some type of whale. (Though whales are rare in the Mediterranean, they are not unknown there). Others feel it might mean a large ocean crocodile, but again, the Bible is not specific.
