in rightness

Rootצדק (ṣ-d-q)
Core Meaningsrightness, justice, conformity to a standard, vindication
Semantic Rangejustice, righteousness, equity, fairness, legal correctness, moral integrity, vindication, just cause
Conceptual Significanceצֶדֶק expresses alignment with the moral and covenantal standard of YHWH. To act or judge "in rightness" is to conform to divine order and justice, a central theme in Israel’s understanding of kingship, worship, and communal life.
Morphological NotesPreposition ב + noun צֶדֶק, masculine singular absolute (Ncmsa). No pronominal suffix; functions adverbially or instrumentally in context.
Rendering RationaleThe form consists of the preposition ב ("in") attached to the masculine singular noun צֶדֶק ("rightness, justice"). Rendering it as "in rightness" preserves the concrete root sense of conformity to what is right or just, rather than using a more abstract theological term, while accurately reflecting the singular noun governed by the preposition.
