Jonah
Marlin and Dory were trapped in a whale, just as Jonah was trapped in a big fish.
it was in the book of jonah when he was swallowed by a big fish for three days
The account (story) of Jonah and the big fish originated from the Jewish religion. It is now part of the Bible and the Koran.
The book of Jonah tells us that Jonah spent three days in the whales belly, Genises says god made the fish first.
It was not a whale. The book of Jonah clearly staes that Jonah was swallowed by a big fish, and a whale is not a fish. We are not told what sort of fish it was. It is quite conceivable that, for the time frame that the story was written in, it could have been likely that the "big fish" was in fact a whale. To many people, scientific classification and terms did not apply, and even though a whale is indeed a mammal, it swims and lives in the ocean, which could have possibly led many to believe that it was a big fish.
Jonah Was inside the the big fish for three days and three nights
Jonah was in the stomach of a 'great fish' - assumed by many to be a whale - for three days and three nights.
