81 Torah Book & Portion, Book of Exodus, Yitro (Exodus 18:1-20:23), Source Book Keys, AMJV EXODUS | 20:5 jealous — EXOD368 God's relationship with the Jewish people... EXOD368 God's relationship with the Jewish people is compared to that of a scorned lover, (Midrash Tanchuma 94:6) much like the Sotah and her jealous husband [Numbers 5:14]. One commentator [Rabeinu Bechaya on this verse] notes that the only time in the entire Bible that God is referred to as jealous is in the context of idol worship, to demonstrate that special husband-wife relationship between the Jewish people and God.
