"And the patriarchs, moved with jealousy against Joseph, sold him into Egypt: and God was with him," — Acts 7:9 (ASV)
Moved with jealousy (ζηλωσαντες). First aorist active participle of ζηλοω, old verb from ζηλος (Acts 5:17), to burn or boil with zeal, and then with envy as here (17:5, etc.) and Ge 37:11.
