אֵ֥שׁ אֹכְלָ֖ה
fire consuming
Here Moses is speaking of Yahweh’s response, when he is jealous, as if it were a devouring fire. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [is a destroyer of people who disobey him just as a fire burns its fuel to ashes]
4:24 God does not have the petty human emotion of jealousy. Rather, the phrase jealous God shows that God was asserting his uniqueness and claiming exclusive worship (6:15; Lev 10:2; Num 16:35). The Hebrew word can be rendered as “jealous” or “zealous.” God zealously protects his own reputation as the universal sovereign.
Note: The OET-RV is still only a first draft, and so far only a few words have been (mostly automatically) matched to the Hebrew or Greek words that they’re translated from.
Acknowledgements: The Hebrew text, lemmas, and morphology are all thanks to the OSHB and some of the glosses are from Macula Hebrew.
