Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

Jonah 1:9

_ _ I am an Hebrew — He does not say “an Israelite.” For this was the name used among themselves; “Hebrew,” among foreigners (Genesis 40:15; Exodus 3:18).

_ _ I fear the Lord — in profession: his practice belied his profession: his profession aggravated his guilt.

_ _ God ... which ... made the sea — appropriately expressed, as accounting for the tempest sent on the sea. The heathen had distinct gods for the “heaven,” the “sea,” and the “land.” Jehovah is the one and only true God of all alike. Jonah at last is awakened by the violent remedy from his lethargy. Jonah was but the reflection of Israel’s backsliding from God, and so must bear the righteous punishment. The guilt of the minister is the result of that of the people, as in Moses’ case (Deuteronomy 4:21). This is what makes Jonah a suitable type of Messiah, who bore the imputed sin of the people.

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on Jonah 1:4-10.

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Jonah 1:9

I fear — I worship and serve the true God; the eternal and almighty God, who made and ruleth the heavens.
