1Ⅲ In Numbers 5:11-31 the dealing with a wife over whom her husband was jealous typifies Christ's jealousy over His believers and the church (Deut. 6:6-15; Exo. 20:5; 34:14; 2 Cor. 11:2-3):
124 Knowing that our God is jealous, we should let His jealousy become ours so that we would care only for Him and allow no one and nothing to replace Him (Exo. 20:5; 34:14; 2 Cor. 11:2-3).
152 With this love and with this jealousy is a flashing fire; these two—the consuming God and the jealous God, the consuming fire and the jealousy—go together (v. 6b).
194 Paul told the saints in Corinth that he was jealous over them with a jealousy of God and that he had betrothed them to one husband to present them as a pure virgin to Christ (2 Cor. 11:2-3).
