We can use envy and jealousy when we wish we had someone else's belongings, talents or situation.
We only use "jealous" when we talk about wanting the attention of others.
The boy you like keeps talking with another girl! Are you jealous?

jealousy is also when you get concerned you could lose something you already have or wish to have it like fame etc but someone makes your opportunities less likely to make something happen and much more. it's when you start to feel possessive, envious and competitive!

So basically jealous is referring to someone and envy is something you don't have?

Somehow I understood those two words from the bible about the two sisters who were married to the same man, one had provided children to the man (which provokes the jealousy of the younger sister) and one who was undeniably or rather exquisitely beautiful (which got the other envious) Am I accurate at this?

“Which made the other envious” Your English is correct!… but I don’t know this story.
