In His jealousy, he wanted to be seen as the chief God.
jesus gave us a few descriptions regarding the Father.....God is love, God is spirit, and that God is perfect, when he inspired us to "Be perfect, therefore, as your heavenly Father is perfect." (Matthew 5:48)
we also know that God is changeless........"I am the LORD All-Powerful, and I never change." (Malachi 3:6).........."Jesus Christ never changes! He is the same yesterday, today, and forever." (Hebrews 13:8)
jealousy is never an attribute of true love, so it certainly cannot be an attribute of God's love
moses was a brilliant, self-educated man.....he practically lived in the library of alexandria, which housed all the world's knowledge, including voluminous amounts of religious, and religion-related material........i guarantee that moses knew of God's love, and that God is not jealous, but as a teacher, he had to find ways to profoundly impress upon an uneducated and downtrodden people, knowledge and understanding of God, in manners that they could understand
so what we see in the bible, in this written historical account of man finding God, is a progression, or one might say, an evolution of man's growing understanding of who God is............from a god of thunder and lightning, to one of many gods, to a jealous god who causes afflictions, to a compassionate god who heals our afflictions, to a loving god who is afflicted by our afflictions.....from a god to fear, to a god that loves.............man needs to overcome his tendancy to apply human attributes to God, his habit of designating "that which is flesh" to "that which is spirit"
