Jonah's, believed to be a vine resembling the American squash, used in Assyria to cover huts

  • Jonah 4:6–10

But God prepared a worm when the morning rose the next day, and it smote the gourd that it withered. And it came to pass, when the sun did arise, that God prepared a vehement east wind; and the sun beat upon the head of Jonah, that he fainted, and wished in himself to die, and said, It is better for me to die than to live. …
