Righteousness - Righteousness in the Hebrew Bible | | Righteousness - Righteousness in the Hebrew Bible: Encyclopedia II - Righteousness - Righteousness in the Hebrew Bible | | Righteousness is one of the chief attributes of God. Its chief meaning concerns ethical conduct. (E.g., Leviticus 19:36; Deuteronomy 25:1; Psalm 1:6; Proverbs 8:20) It is used in a legal sense; while the guilty are judged, the guiltless are deemed righteous. God's faithfulness to His covenant is also a large part of His righteousness. (Nehemiah 9:7-8)
Righteousness also relates to God's rôle as saviour; God is a "righteous saviour"; (Isaiah 61) and a deliverer. (Isaiah 46:12-13) The righteous are those who trust that they will be vindicated by the Lord God. (Psalm 37:12-13).

Righteousness - Hebrew Definition of Righteousness
Righteousness:
The Hebrew word for righteousness is tseh'-dek, Gesenius's Strong's Concordance:6664—righteous, integrity, equity, justice, straightness. The root of tseh'-dek is tsaw-dak', Gesenius's Strong:6663—upright, just, straight, innocent, true, sincere; (the same root as for charity). Based on this etymology, righteousness is the Golden Rule (ethics) in working clothes—enlightened self-interest. It is what one lung does when the other collapses; it takes over, for its very OWN survival; it is not altruism.
