Numbers 5:11-30 concerns the process by which a husband suspicious of his wife's unfaithfulness might test her. Most often human jealousy involves hostility towards a rival. Joseph's brothers were jealous ( Genesis 37:11 ) and thus sold their brother into slavery (Acts 7:9 ). In Acts 17:5 a jealous group among the Jews incited the crowd against Paul. Jealousy, like envy, is common in vice lists ( Romans 13:13; 2 Corinthians 12:20; Galatians 5:20-21 ). Jealousy is regarded as worse than wrath or anger (Proverbs 27:4 ). James regarded jealousy (or bitter envy) as characteristic of earthy, demonic wisdom (Proverbs 3:14 ) and as the source of all disorder and wickedness (Proverbs 3:16 ). See Envy .
