1:13Instead, they tried to row65 back to land,66 but they were not able to do so67 because the storm kept growing worse and worse.68
Footnotes
- 65 The word translated row is used in Ezekiel to describe digging through a wall (Ezek 8:8; 12:5, 7, 12). Its use in Jonah pictures the sailors digging into the water with their oars as hard as they could.
- 66 The word for land here is associated with a Hebrew verb meaning “to be dry” and is the same noun used in v. 9 of dry ground in contrast with the sea, both made by the Lord (see also Gen 1:9–10; Exod 4:9; 14:16, 22, 29; Jonah 2:10).
- 67 Heb “but they were not able.” The phrase “to do so” does not appear in the Hebrew text but is supplied in the translation for stylistic reasons.
- 68 Heb “the sea was walking and storming.” See the note on the same idiom in v. .
