It is often used to describe a fervent, protective, or possessive emotion, particularly in the context of God's relationship with His people. Word Origin: Derived from the root קָנָא (qanah), which conveys the idea of zeal or jealousy. Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: • G2207: ζηλωτής (zēlōtēs) • meaning "zealous" or "jealous," often used to describe someone who is fervent or enthusiastic in their beliefs or actions. • G2208: ζῆλος (zēlos) • meaning "zeal" or "jealousy," which can refer to both positive enthusiasm and negative envy, depending on the context. Usage: The word קַנּוֹא is used in the Hebrew Bible to describe God's zealous nature, especially in relation to His covenant with Israel. It emphasizes God's exclusive claim to worship and His intolerance of idolatry or unfaithfulness. Context: • The term קַנּוֹא (qannôʾ) is primarily used to describe the character of God as a "jealous" God, highlighting His passionate commitment to His covenant people. This divine jealousy is not to be understood in a negative human sense but rather as a righteous zeal for His honor and the well-being of His people. • In the context of the Hebrew Scriptures, God's jealousy is often linked to His demand for exclusive worship and His intolerance of idolatry. This is seen in passages where God warns Israel against turning to other gods, emphasizing that He is a "jealous God" who will not share His glory with another. • The concept of divine jealousy underscores the seriousness of the covenant relationship between God and Israel. It serves as a reminder of God's holiness and the expectation of faithfulness from His people. • An example of this usage can be found in Exodus 34:14 (BSB): "For you must not worship any other god, for the LORD, whose name is Jealous, is a jealous God." • The term also conveys the idea of God's protective love, where His jealousy is an expression of His deep care and commitment to His people, ensuring their loyalty and devotion to Him alone.
