Strong's Lexicon qinah: Jealousy, zeal, ardor Original Word: קִנְאָה Word Origin: Derived from the root קָנָא (qanah), which means to be zealous or jealous. Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G2205 (ζῆλος, zēlos): Often translated as zeal or jealousy, reflecting similar themes of fervor and intense emotion. - G2206 (ζηλόω, zēloō): To be zealous or jealous, used in contexts of both positive zeal and negative envy. Usage: The Hebrew word "qinah" primarily denotes a strong emotion of jealousy or zeal. It can refer to both a positive and negative form of jealousy. In a positive sense, it describes God's zealous protection of His people and His desire for their exclusive devotion. In a negative sense, it can refer to human jealousy, which often leads to strife and conflict. The term is used to express intense fervor, whether in the context of divine love or human rivalry. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israelite culture, "qinah" was understood as a powerful emotion that could drive both divine and human actions. The concept of jealousy was not merely possessive but was often linked to covenantal faithfulness. God's jealousy was seen as a protective and righteous zeal for His people, ensuring their loyalty and purity in worship. In human relationships, jealousy could lead to destructive behavior, as seen in various biblical narratives.
