Jonah’s journey

Jonah never reached Tarshish: the storm came on the way. Where Tarshish lay is uncertain — it is often placed at Tartessos in Spain; others suggest Sardinia or Carthage. Where the fish put Jonah ashore, the text does not say.

Lines join the stops in the order of the text — the roads themselves are not known. Dashed: by ship. Pale: the site is uncertain.

Dotted: where the journey was headed — the text does not say it arrived there; the line goes on from the stop before.

Each point is the most likely site (OpenBible.info); a pale point means the identification is uncertain. Places whose site is unknown are not on the map.
