Berean Strong's Lexicon tsidqah: Righteousness, justice Original Word: צִדְקָה Word Origin: Derived from the root צָדַק (tsadaq), meaning "to be just" or "to be righteous." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G1343 δικαιοσύνη (dikaiosynē) – righteousness - G1342 δίκαιος (dikaios) – just, righteous Usage: The Hebrew word "tsidqah" primarily denotes righteousness or justice. It is used to describe the moral and ethical standards that align with God's character and law. In the Old Testament, "tsidqah" often refers to the righteousness of God, which is the standard for human conduct. It encompasses both personal integrity and social justice, emphasizing right relationships with God and others. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israel, righteousness was not merely a personal virtue but a communal expectation. The concept of "tsidqah" was deeply embedded in the covenant relationship between God and His people. It was reflected in the legal, social, and religious life of the community. Righteousness was seen as a divine attribute, and the Israelites were called to emulate God's righteousness in their dealings with one another and in their worship.
