Jonah 1:6 records the ship's captain pleading with Jonah: 'Arise, call out to your god! Perhaps the god will give thought to us, that we may not perish.' This Hithpael verb, an Aramaism, means to think or take thought, to be mindful. It is cognate with Aramaic and Targum usage. The captain hopes that Jonah's God might consider their plight and intervene. The verb parallels Hebrew 'chashav' (to think, reckon). Spanish uses 'se preocupara' (will care/be concerned), capturing the sense of attentive consideration. The pagan sailors fear the storm is divine wrath, and they desperately hope that whichever god is responsible might relent if approached.
