Where is whale listed in the King James Bible?

The only reference to a whale in the bible that I am aware of is in the book of Jonah.I don't have a King James version to confirm that they do refer as the fish as a whale. I have a NIV version and it says that God provided a great fish.As a child I recall the story being told with Jonah being swallowed by a whale There are 4 references to 'whale' in the KJV Bible: Genesis 1.21 Job 7.12 Ezekiel 32.2 Matthew 12.40 In Jonah, the 'whale' is called 'a great fish' (Jonah 1.17), but Jesus calls it a whale (Matthew 12.40)


What is the name of a man swallowed by a whale from the book of the bible?

No one was swallowed by a "whale" in The Bible. This is a mistranslation and is probably one important reason why many people find the account ridiculous.The account being referred to is presumably that involving the prophet Jonah, found in the Book of Jonah in the Old Testament, and referred to, briefly, in the New Testament:According to the original account (in the Book of Jonah}, Jonah was swallowed by a gadol dag, a 'great fish' (Jonah 1:17), and in the Book of Matthew we are told that he was swallowed by a kitos, a 'great sea monster' (Matthew 12:40).


Where is a whale located in the Bible?

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.
