Il leur répondit: "Prenez-moi et jetez-moi à la mer, vous la verrez s’apaiser, car je reconnais que c’est par mon fait que vous essuyez cette violente tempête."
Zohar
"So they took up Jonah, and cast him into the sea." We learned that when they cast him into the sea and immersed him to his knees, the sea calmed. When they lifted him, the sea raged. The deeper they immersed him, the calmer the sea became, until he said, "Take me up, and cast me into the sea" (Yonah 1:12). Immediately, "they took up Jonah, and cast him into the sea."
