Exegesis
The temporal-local sequence ʿad-hĕyôṯî {עַד־הֱיוֹתִי֙ | ʿad-hĕ-yôṯî} ‘while I was’ + ʿal-ʾadmātî {עַל־אַדְמָתִ֔י | ʿal-ʾad-māṯî} ‘on my land’ establishes the earlier setting as the basis for his present grievance.
In context — Jonah 4:2
And he prayed to the LORD and said, “Please, LORD, is this not my word while I was still on my land? Therefore I went ahead to flee to Tarshish, for I knew that You are a gracious God and compassionate, slow to anger, great in steadfast love, and relenting concerning the calamity.”
