Jona 3:3 i olika översättningar

Svenska

SRB26 Då bröt Jona upp och begav sig till Nineve enligt HERRENS ord. Men Nineve var en oerhört stor stad, tre dagsresor lång.

SKB Så Jona steg upp och gick till Nineve [ca 800 km, mer än en månads vandring] i enlighet med Herrens (Jahvehs) ord. [Den här gången lyder han, förra gången Jona reste sig (Jona 1:2) var det för att fly till Tarshish] Nineve var en mycket stor stad inför Gud (Elohim), det tog tre dagar att gå igenom den. [Uttrycket att vandra runt den eller genom den, uppfattas ofta som en färgstark beskrivning av stadens enorma storlek. Men såväl arkeologins fynd liksom historiker som Strabo beskriver att staden var enorm, betydligt större än Babylon, med en yttre omfattning på ca 80–90 km! Det betyder i så fall att det rent konkret tog tre dagar att vandra runt staden. Den inre stadsmuren var 12 kilometer lång och som mest menar arkeologerna idag att det har bott ca 200 000 människor i staden, alltså ännu fler än Jona anger. Jona besökte den något decennium innan staden blev som allra störst under kung Sanheribs styre (704-681 f.Kr.), se 2 Kung 18:13; 2 Krön 32; Jes 37:37.]
