וַיְמַ֣ן יְהוָֽה־אֱ֠לֹהִים קִיקָי֞וֹן וַיַּ֣עַל ׀ מֵעַ֣ל לְיוֹנָ֗ה לִֽהְי֥וֹת צֵל֙ עַל־רֹאשׁ֔וֹ לְהַצִּ֥יל ל֖וֹ מֵרָֽעָת֑וֹ וַיִּשְׂמַ֥ח יוֹנָ֛ה עַל־הַקִּֽיקָי֖וֹן שִׂמְחָ֥ה גְדוֹלָֽה׃
Lalu Allah Yang Mahakekal menyediakan sebatang pohon jarak, dan tanaman itu tumbuh tinggi melampaui Yunus untuk menjadi naungan di atas kepalanya, guna melepaskannya dari penderitaannya. Yunus sangat bersukacita karena pohon jarak itu.
Depths of Yonah
It is understandable that Yonah would be pleased that Hashem has enhanced his shade, especially needed in the blistering Middle Eastern sun.

Rashi
should be prepared Heb. מן. Preparation, as (Jonah 4:6): “And the Lord...appointed (וימן) a kikayon.”
