Thank you all for the info - it'll take a while to digest.

You're wrong Dave, in that I've taken correspondence courses, because I've
had no courses at all. I'm not upset though. I realize I was cheating
(instead of persuing proper sequence of study) by sending my elementary
questions to this list. I promise to fully digest all replies.

I was trying to make the text say that Jonah wanted to be lifted up "for all
to see."  It seemed that everytime that form of N&) was used, it implied -
lift up "for all to see." Now I realize that form is just the 2nd persond
plural so of course all who lifted would see.
