Strong's Lexicon qinah: Jealousy, zeal, ardor Original Word: קִינָה 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 concepts of fervent emotion and passion. - 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 positive and negative forms 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 describe human jealousy, which often leads to strife and conflict. 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 only seen in personal relationships but also in the context of covenantal faithfulness. God's jealousy was perceived as His passionate commitment to His covenant with Israel, demanding their exclusive worship and loyalty. This divine jealousy was contrasted with the destructive nature of human jealousy, which could lead to sin and division.
