Zealous Alohim (אל קנא הוא) or The Jealous God (EL Qana Hu)
No creatures are without feelings of jealousy, so it's natural to feel "jealous" sometimes but it should be based on righteousness and come from God, making it "good jealousy," just as God what he felt in the year 1446 B.C.E. when "Israelites" created a Golden Calf who made by Aaron.
Exodus 32:35
And the Lord sent punishment on the people because they gave worship to the ox which Aaron made.
👇
So, if you notice, God is named "Jealous" or "Zealous Elohim."
Exodus 34:14
for you do not bow down to another god, because the Lord, whose name is Zealous (Jealous), is a Zealous God.
👇
The Hebrew phrase "EL Qana Hu" (אל קנא הוא) translates to "God is Jealous" or "God is a Zealous God (Elohim)" in English.
Any "Words" used in conjunction with the term "God" become a "Title" as his "Alias," or to clarify, part of his "Name." So "Zealous Elohim" became his titled name.
In "Exodus 20:5," this is found in the context of God's commandments, which shows His being Qana (קנא), meaning "Jealous" or "Envious" in the context of being God.
This expresses God's jealousy in love and worship, which He does not share with other idols (Asherah, Asheri, or the names of Satan as Idolaters statues).
Another Verses :
In Exodus 34:14, EL Qana (אל קנא) was also mentioned, which reinforces God's character.
The concept of Qinah (Jealousy) in Hebrew is related to God's intense love and protection (savior.)
