Jealousy and covetousness (envy) are not the same thing. When you covet something, you want something that belongs to someone else. But you can only be jealous of something that is yours; otherwise you have no claim to it. If a man doesn’t want his wife to be too close to other men, he is jealous. If he starts wishing he could have his neighbor’s house, car, job, wife, etc., that is covetousness. The Biblical God is a jealous God in the sense that he does not want his people to go to “other gods,” to idols. For God to “covet” something would mean that he wants something that belongs to something else! Obviously that makes no sense.
