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)

This no doubt refers to the story of Jonah (in The Old Testament, the Book of Jonah) who tried to run away from God. He was swallowed by 'a great fish' but survived, eventually doing the errand God had prepared for him.The story of Jonah and the Whale is a well known story, but nowhere in scripture does it mention a whale but a 'Great Fish'. This is jusy another example fo the misconceptions that people have about familiar Bible stories (eg Eve never gave Adam an apple... Nowhere does it say there were three wise men at the stable... and so on!).
