Tao Bible - Deuteronomy 4:24

For the LORD thy God is a consuming fire, even a jealous God.
~ King James version ~

Tao knows no jealousy of any kind.
~ possible Taoist alternative ~
As the people of Israel prepare to enter the promised land, Moses reminds them that Yahweh is a jealous God.

Tao is the essence of all things -- the force that undergirds existence. If everything is a manifestation of the One, what could Tao be jealous of?
