Going to start a thread on the Biblical book of Jonah. @Tyndale_House I have heard this book read out loud in Hebrew in just 4 minutes.
The opening is unparalleled as it breaks straight into action—the action of the word of the Lord coming to Jonah.
1:2 continues the directness with a pair of imperatives, which are monosyllables in Hebrew and lack any joining word: ‘arise, go’—qum lek. The directness makes ambiguity impossible.
