|

God used this question to emphasize his claim that he should have compassion on Nineveh. Alternate translation: "I certainly should have compassion for Nineveh, that important city ... animals." (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-rquestion]])

# in which there are more
|
|

This can also be the beginning of a new sentence. Alternate translation: "There are more" or "It has more"

# who do not know the difference between their right hand and their left hand
|
|
|
|
This may be a way of saying "they cannot tell the difference between right and wrong."
|
|
|
|
# also many animals

The author is pointing out the depth of Nineveh's repentance to the extent that Yahweh takes note of the animals' participation in the act of repentance. (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/writing-background]])
