and Jonas was in the belly of the whale three days and three nights
New Testament

for as Jonah was three days and three nights in the belly of the whale

and Jonah was in the belly of the fish three days and three nights
Comments:  The NT and the LXX agree.  As the Greek word khtoj can also mean “a gigantic fish,” the MT is not significantly different.
