What role does Jonah play in the Old Testament narrative?
Jonah is a prophet in the Old Testament who is called by God to deliver a message to the people of Nineveh. He initially tries to run away from this task but eventually fulfills his mission after being swallowed by a great fish and then spit out onto dry land. Jonah's story serves as a lesson about obedience to God and the importance of repentance.
Why was Noah swallowed by a fish?
It wasn't Noah, it was Jonah. Jonah was fleeing from God's request for him to preach to the wicked Assyrian city of Nineveh, since, as he later stated, he knew God to be merciful and he was afraid God would spare them if they repented (not a very kind attitude to have). The great fish was God's methodology of bringing Jonah back to where he started and bringing him to a point where he was ready to do what God wanted. The full account is in the Old Testament book of Jonah. Interestingly enough, despite the many scoffings over the years at the implausibility of this story, a man on a whaling expedition in the 19th century was recorded as having spent significant time in a whale, and lived to tell of it. This is not to say that Jonah's fish was actually a whale, as whales are mammals, but that it is not impossible.
Did Jonah eat the fish after he spit out on shore?
it was a whale, so likely, it just swam awayAnswerNo. We are told in the Book of Jonah that a 'great fish' swallowed him, spitting him out three days later. There is a common misconception that it was a 'whale' as this is not mentioned at all in the Hebrew scriptures, nor do whales live in the seas surrounding the area where the story of Jonah was set. Many critics of this story believe it to be fiction as it would be impossible for Jonah (or anyone else) to be swallowed by a fish like this and survive. However, there have been several well-documented cases of sailors and others swallowed either by whale sharks (the largest species of fish in the world) and other large mammals such as whales, and surviving.Therefore, as such a fish would be very large, it would be impossible for Jonah to have 'eaten' it.

What is the Moral of Jonah and the big fish?
God gives second chances. Short version of the story: The story is about Jonah being told by God to go to Nineveh, which, at the time, was the enemy of the Israelites (as Jews should properly be called). Jonah was an Israelite, and he thought that if he went, he would be killed. So instead, he set sail for Tarsus. God sent up a storm while he was on the way, and Jonah was thrown into the ocean. A big fish swallowed him up, and he stayed in its belly for 3 days and nights. He prayed for that whole time, and God commanded the fish to spit him up. Jonah went on to Nineveh to preach, and they repented. Because they repented, God didn't destroy the town.
What did Jonah do to GOD to be swallowed by a fish?
Originally it was the leviathan, an imaginary, giant beast of the sea.(Really giant, it covered the entire sea bed.) Since the story of Jonah is recorded in the scripture, the scripture has the answer for this.17Now the LORD had prepared a great fish to swallow up Jonah. And Jonah was in the belly of the fish three days and three nights. A fish is not a whale, in terms of modern scientific classification, since a whale is a mammal. However it appears unclear what the actual Hebrew word used could be referring to. Some have suggested it was a large shark. The Leviathan is a different creature, with a different Hebrew word used, and so it was not a Leviathan. In any case, it was not any kind of mythological creature, but a real existent one.
