Yunus 2:10

2:10 Then the Lord commanded ¹  the fish and it disgorged Jonah on dry land.

[2:10]  ¹ tn Heb “spoke to.” The fish functions as a literary foil to highlight Jonah’s hesitancy to obey God up to this point. In contrast to Jonah who immediately fled when God commanded him, the fish immediately obeyed.
