Jonah 4:6

King James Version (1769 Blayney revision, with Apocrypha) · Berean Standard Bible

4:6
And the Lord God prepared a gourd (note: Or, palmcrist. Heb. Kikajon), and made it to come up over Jonah, that it might be a shadow over his head, to deliver him from his grief. So Jonah was exceeding glad (note: Heb. rejoiced with great joy) 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.
