Strong's Lexicon tsadeq or tsadoq: To be just, to be righteous, to justify, to declare righteous Original Word: צָדַק Word Origin: A primitive root Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G1344 (δικαιόω, dikaioō) - to justify, declare righteous - G1342 (δίκαιος, dikaios) - righteous, just Usage: The Hebrew verb "tsadeq" primarily means to be just or righteous. It is used in various contexts to describe the act of being or making something right, justifying, or declaring someone righteous. This term is often used in legal and moral contexts, where it signifies the act of vindicating or proving someone to be in the right. It can also refer to God's righteous judgment and His ability to justify individuals. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israelite society, righteousness was a key attribute of both God and His people. The concept of righteousness (tsedeq) was deeply embedded in the covenant relationship between God and Israel. It encompassed not only legal correctness but also moral integrity and faithfulness to God's commandments. The idea of justification, or being declared righteous, was central to the sacrificial system and later became a significant theological theme in the New Testament.
