“So the shipmaster came to him, and said unto him, What meanest thou, O sleeper? arise, call upon thy God, if so be that God will think upon us, that we perish not.”
The captain discovering Jonah sleeping and commanding him to call upon his god indicates Jonah's disconnection from the crisis and the captain's assumption that all must invoke their respective deities. The rousing of Jonah from sleep suggests his obliviousness to his role in the catastrophe.
