Jonah 1:9

And he said unto them, I am an Hebrew; and I fear the Lord, the God of heaven, which hath made the sea and the dry land.

Cross-reference

Nehemiah 9:6 echoes Jonah's confession: God made the heavens, earth, and seas — the same Creator Jonah fears.

Psalm 95:5 Parallel

Psalm 95:5 declares God made the sea and dry land — exactly matching Jonah's creed that the LORD made them.

Psalm 146:6 Parallel

Psalm 146:6 explicitly states God made heaven, earth, and sea — the same Creator Jonah confesses to the sailors.

Acts 14:15 Parallel

Acts 14:15 proclaims the living God who made heaven, earth, and sea — the same Creator Jonah identifies himself with.

Acts 17:23 Parallel

Acts 17:24 describes God who made the world and everything in it — the same Creator Jonah fears, but Paul expands to all nations.

Acts 27:23 Parallel

Acts 27:23 shows Paul on a storm-tossed ship declaring his service to God — mirroring Jonah's profession amid the storm.

Genesis 1:9 Allusion

Genesis 1:9 records God commanding the dry land to appear — the very creation Jonah credits to the LORD.

Mark 4:41 Parallel

In Mark 4:41, Jesus commands the storm, showing the divine authority over the sea that Jonah attributes to the Creator God — a typological fulfillment of God's power.

2 Kings 17:32-35 shows syncretistic fear of the LORD alongside other gods — contrasting Jonah's exclusive devotion here.

In 1 Corinthians 8:6, Paul affirms one God through whom all things exist — echoing Jonah's statement that God made the sea and dry land, a shared monotheistic creation claim.

Revelation 16:11 uses the same title 'God of heaven' — but there people curse Him, contrasting with Jonah's reverence.

Genesis 39:14 uses 'Hebrew' as a slur against Joseph — the same term Jonah here claims with pride, contrasting outsider accusation vs self-identification.

Job 1:9 Parallel

Job 1:9 questions Job's motive for fearing God — Jonah's claim here is similarly tested by his flight from God's call.

Philippians 3:5 has Paul boast 'Hebrew of Hebrews' — similar to Jonah's self-identification as a Hebrew, both asserting heritage.
