Lit a great city to God

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

It is usually assumed that the "three days' walk" was the distance equal to the circumference of the walled city, but it would also include the open fields, farms, and villages that would have been considered the territory of Nineveh. In fact, a significant portion of what was considered an ancient city's population typically were farmers who lived outside the city, and only left their farms for the protection of the city when an invading army threatened to attack. For another explanation of the distance, see note v 4.
