There are problems with the following statement:
Ether 3 contains the prayer of the Brother of Jared in which he asks the Lord to help him provide light inside their barges so that his people will not have to cross the oceans in darkness. The first verse of this prayer is remarkably similar to Jonah 2, and this verse may have been modeled after the Psalm contained in the chapter.
The Brother of Jared's pray was said long before Jonah prayer was written. Jonah's account was written after The Brother of Jared left The Old World. How could there "modeling after" by either party?
