This is a pretty weak take. For the sake of the argument assume that the old testament is 100% accurate. What is the outcome for the Hebrews every time they forget their God and start worshipping idols? It's not good things, let me tell you that much. You can of course disagree on the accuracy of the old testament, but the internal logic is clearly not that God gives one of the 10 commandments out of jealousy.

Do no harm is quite vague, sometimes causing harm serves a higher moral purpose, for example the punishing of criminals. Call me biased but I think "Love your neighbours as yourself" and "Love God above all else".
