Amplified 2015 Translator's Notes:
Literal renderings, alternate translations or explanations.

This was an important addition to Jonah's description of God, because most people who believed in pagan gods had different deities for different regions of the created world, and often they also worshiped deities of their own localities. Jonah was affirming that there is only one true God.
