Jonah Swallowed By The Great Fish
Fleeing from the presence of Yahweh, the prophet Jonah was thrown into a raging sea to save a ship full of pagan sailors. As he sank beneath the waves, the Lord appointed a great fish to swallow him. Jonah remains trapped in the belly of the fish—a dark, suffocating tomb beneath the sea—for three days and three nights, completely cut off from the land of the living.
"And Yahweh appointed a great fish to swallow Jonah, and Jonah was in the stomach of the fish three days and three nights."

Jesus explicitly referred to Jonah's three days in the fish as the ultimate "sign" of His own burial.
