The Hebrew teaching is that one cannot follow some of the laws of God and ignore others. In that regard the Law is "jealous" because it doesn't work well if the Law is only a "sometimes" thing.He was jealous. Just because there wasnt a word for it doesnt mean the emotion didnt exist.
New Testament advises much the same: We cannot serve two masters as we will come to love one but not the other.
Note that the Law is...and the Masters are....It is not they who are affected by our choice, it is we who are affected. We do not get the full benefit of the gifts of the Law, and we are divided if we choose to try to devote all we are into two.
