In the context of the Bible, it is often used to describe God's passionate commitment to His covenant relationship with His people. This divine jealousy is not petty or envious but is a protective and righteous zeal for the holiness and exclusivity of the relationship between God and His people.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Near Eastern cultures, deities were often seen as having human-like emotions, including jealousy. However, the biblical portrayal of God's jealousy is unique in that it is rooted in His covenantal love and faithfulness. God's jealousy is a reflection of His desire for His people to remain faithful to Him, avoiding idolatry and spiritual adultery. This concept underscores the seriousness of the covenant relationship and the expectation of exclusive worship and loyalty to Yahweh.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from the same as <a href="/hebrew/7068.htm">qinah</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>jealous<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>jealous (6).<p><div align="center"><span class="smalltext"><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/nasec.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe></span></div><div class="vheading2">Brown-Driver-Briggs</div> <font class="hebrew2">קַנָּא</font> <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>adjective</b></font> <font size="+1"><b>jealous</b></font>; — only of God: <font class="hebrew2">אֵל קַנָּא</font> <a href="/interlinear/exodus/20-5.htm">Exodus 20:5</a> (J) = <a href="/interlinear/deuteronomy/5-9.htm">Deuteronomy 5:9</a> (as punishing those who hate him), <a href="/interlinear/exodus/34-14.htm">Exodus 34:14</a> (J), <a href="/interlinear/deuteronomy/4-24.htm">Deuteronomy 4:24</a>; <a href="/interlinear/deuteronomy/6-15.htm">Deuteronomy 6:15</a> (demanding exclusive service); <font class="hebrew2">קַנָּא שְׁמוֺ</font> <a href="/interlinear/exodus/34-14.htm">Exodus 34:14</a> (J). <br><br><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/bsoft2.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe><div class="vheading2">Strong's Exhaustive Concordance</div>jealous <p>From <a href="/hebrew/7065.htm">qana'</a>; jealous -- jealous.
