'Sea' in the Bible

The Lord hurled a great wind on the sea and there was a great storm on the sea so that the ship was about to break up.

Then the sailors became afraid and every man cried to his god, and they threw the cargo which was in the ship into the sea to lighten it for them. But Jonah had gone below into the hold of the ship, lain down and fallen sound asleep.

He said to them, “I am a Hebrew, and I fear the Lord God of heaven who made the sea and the dry land.”

So they said to him, “What should we do to you that the sea may become calm for us?”—for the sea was becoming increasingly stormy.

He said to them, “Pick me up and throw me into the sea. Then the sea will become calm for you, for I know that on account of me this great storm has come upon you.”

However, the men rowed desperately to return to land but they could not, for the sea was becoming even stormier against them.

So they picked up Jonah, threw him into the sea, and the sea stopped its raging.
