Jonah. 12 He said to them, "Take me up and throw me into the sea; then the sea will quiet down for you; for I know it is because of me that this great tempest has come upon you." 15 So they took up Jonah and threw him into the sea; and the sea ceased from its raging. 16 Then the men feared the LORD exceedingly, and they offered a sacrifice to the LORD and made vows. 17 And the LORD appointed a great fish to swallow up Jonah; and Jonah was in the belly of the fish three days and three nights. Old Testament Jonah 1:12,15-17 Apr 03 06, 3:28 PM

Moses also offered his life for God's mercy on the Israelites, in Numbers 11:14-15: "I cannot carry [the burden of] this entire nation alone, for it is too heavy for me. And if this is what you do to me, kill me now, and if I've found any grace in your eyes, let me not see my troubles." Or, in Exodus 32:31-32: "Moses returned to the Lord and said: 'please, O Lord, the people have committed a great sin and they have made them a god of gold.
