“[F]or I, your God, am a jealous God.” (Exod. 20:5)
[God says:] I rule over jealousy; jealousy does not rule over me.
[This is in the same sense that] I rule over sleep; sleep does not rule over me, as it is said, “Behold, the Guardian of Israel neither slumbers nor sleeps.” (Psalms 121:4)
(from Mekhilta Derabbi Yishma’el, 20:5)
“讻讬 讗谞讻讬 讛’ 讗诇讛讬讱 讗诇 拽谞讗”.
