"Who cast Jonah into the sea?" (Alleged Contradiction #E9638)
So they took up Jonah, and cast him forth into the sea: and the sea ceased from her raging.
Jonah 1:15
For thou hadst cast me into the deep, in the midst of the seas; and the floods compassed me about: all thy billows and thy waves passed over me.
Jonah 2:3
Response
The sailors threw Jonah into the sea, but God caused the storm which caused the sailors to throw Jonah into the sea. Furthermore, Jonah is the one speaking in 2:3, and from Jonah’s perspective, God is the one who threw him into the sea as punishment.
