Last year as we were translating the book of Jonah I noticed a beautiful pattern in chapter 1. Technically, it's called a chiastic structure because it can be diagrammed like the letter "X." The first half of chapter 1 and the second half of chapter 1 contain symmetrical ideas. The climax is in the middle when Jonah declares, "I am a Hebrew and I fear Yahweh."
