Exodus 34:14 King James Bible

“For thou shalt worship no other god: for the LORD, whose name is Jealous, is a jealous God:”



Exodus 34:14 this is LAW part of the 10 commandments in which God demands we worship no other God. 

The meaning of The LORD (all in caps here is clear that this is Jesus Christ himself) as someone to desire and tolerating no unfaithfulness. 

If we examine the word Jealous in Hebrew Strongs H7065 to the Ancient Hebrew Lexicon 1428: The word means ZEALOUS as a parent bird guards over and protects the nest and eggs from predators.

In biblical language (early 13c.) "tolerating no unfaithfulness.
