Jonah 4:6

Jewish Publication Society 1917 · Berean Standard Bible

4:6
And the LORD God prepared a gourd, and made it to come up over Jonah, that it might be a shadow over his head, to deliver him from his evil. So Jonah was exceeding glad because of the gourd.
So the LORD God appointed a vine (note: Hebrew qiqayon; that is, possibly the castor oil plant; also in verses 7, 9, and 10), and it grew up to provide shade over Jonah’s head to ease his discomfort, and Jonah was greatly pleased with the plant.
