Exegesis
The main predicate hetil {הֵטִ֤יל | hēṭîl} ‘hurled’ is Hiphil, presenting YHWH’s action as forceful causation, with the object ruach-gedolah {רֽוּחַ־גְּדוֹלָה֙ | rûaḥ-gədôlâ} ‘a great wind’ marked as an overwhelming agent directed by el-hayam {אֶל־הַיָּ֔ם | ʾel-hayyām} ‘toward the sea’.
In context — Jonah 1:4
But the LORD hurled a great wind toward the sea, and a great storm came to be in the sea, so that the ship seemed about to break.
