This term is used extensively in the New Testament, such as in Matthew 5:6 (BSB), "Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they will be filled."<p><span class="tophdg">Usage: </span>The term "tsediyyah" is used to denote the concept of righteousness or justice, often in a moral or ethical sense. It reflects the character of God as just and righteous and is used to describe actions, laws, or individuals that align with divine standards of justice and morality.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Israelite society, righteousness was not merely a personal virtue but a communal and covenantal obligation. The Hebrew understanding of righteousness involved living in right relationship with God and others, adhering to the laws and commandments given by God. Justice was a central theme in the Hebrew Bible, reflecting God's concern for fairness, equity, and the protection of the vulnerable.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from <a href="/hebrew/6658.htm">tsadah</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>a lying-in-wait<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>lying in wait (2).<p><div align="center"><span class="smalltext"><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/nasec.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe></span></div><div class="vheading2">Brown-Driver-Briggs</div> <font class="hebrew2">צְדִיָּה</font> <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>noun feminine</b></font> <font size="+1"><b>lying-in-wait</b></font>;
