Abstract

This article aims to examine some literary aspects in the book of Jonah, as well to verify intertextual relations between the text of Jn 3: 7-4:2 and Ex 32-34, analyzing the ironic aspects present in the connections among these two narratives, mainly, in the connection between the prophets Jonah and Moses, where it stands out the ironic form that the author presents Jonah’s actions.
