Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

Jonah 1:16

_ _ offered a sacrifice — They offered some sacrifice of thanksgiving at once, and vowed more when they should land. Glassius thinks it means only, “They promised to offer a sacrifice.”

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on Jonah 1:11-17.

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Jonah 1:16

Feared the Lord — Perhaps as Jonah's casting over — board was a type of Christ's death, so the effect it had upon the mariners might be a type of the conversion of the Heathen from idols unto God. Made vows — Probably they vowed, they would ever worship him whom Jonah preached, the Creator of heaven and earth.

Geneva Bible Translation Notes

Jonah 1:16

Then the men (l) feared the LORD exceedingly, and offered a sacrifice unto the LORD, and made vows.

(l) They were touched with a certain repentance of their past life, and began to worship the true God by whom they saw themselves as wonderfully delivered. But this was done for fear, and not from a pure heart and affection, neither according to God's word.
