However, the Bible also contains a few attributes that do not fit the overall depiction of God in the Quran. For instance, according to the Old Testament, God is Jealous (Joshua 24:19; Nahum 1:2), or a Consuming Fire (Hebrews 12:29). The God of the Old Testament demonstrates weak qualities, since He regrets creating Adam (Genesis 6:6-7); worries about his reputation (Ezekiel 20:8-10); cannot see Adam (3:8- 10); rests, eats, sleeps (Exodus 31:17; Genesis 18:1-8; Psalm 78:65); can be seen and cannot be seen (Genesis 32:30, compare it to Exodus 33:17-20; John 1:18); loses a wrestling match with Jacob (Genesis 32:24-30); and is forgetful (Lamentations 5:20; Psalms 13:1). For God's attributes in the Quran, see 7:180.
