rightness
| Root | צדק (ts-d-q) |
| Core Meanings | rightness, justice, conformity to a standard, moral correctness |
| Semantic Range | rightness, justice, righteous conduct, vindication, integrity, covenantal faithfulness expressed in action, at times prosperity as the outcome of right order |
| Conceptual Significance | צְדָקָה expresses covenantal rightness—alignment with YHWH’s just order. It encompasses both moral integrity and socially enacted justice, describing the character of God, the ethical calling of Israel, and the relational faithfulness that sustains community life under divine rule. |
| Morphological Notes | Noun, common feminine singular absolute (HNcfsa); abstract noun formed from the verbal root צדק. |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun derives from the root צדק, meaning "to be right" or "to be just." Rendering it as "rightness" preserves the core sense of conformity to what is right or just, rather than importing later theological abstractions. The form is feminine singular absolute (HNcfsa), which is reflected in the singular abstract noun "rightness." |
