Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G1342 (δίκαιος, dikaios) – often translated as "righteous" or "just" in the New Testament.

Usage: The term "tsaddiq" is used in the Hebrew Bible to describe someone who is righteous or just, often in the context of moral and ethical behavior that aligns with God's standards. It denotes a person who is in right standing with God, living in accordance with His laws and commandments. The word is frequently used to contrast the righteous with the wicked, highlighting the moral and spiritual integrity of the former.

Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israelite society, righteousness was not merely a personal attribute but a communal expectation. The concept of "tsaddiq" was deeply embedded in the covenantal relationship between God and His people. Righteousness was seen as adherence to the Torah, the law given by God, and was often associated with justice, mercy, and faithfulness. The righteous were expected to act justly, love mercy, and walk humbly with God (Micah 6:8).
