righteousness

The Old Testament righteousness. Summary:

In the Old Testament "righteous" and "just" are English words used to translate the Hebrew words yasher, "upright"; tsadiq, "just"; tsidkah, "righteous." In all of these words but one idea inheres: the righteous, or just, man is so called, because he is right with God; and he is right with God because he has walked "in all the commandments and ordinances of the Lord blameless" (Luca 1:6); (Romani 10:5); (Filemone 3:6).

The Old Testament righteous man was not sinless (Ecclesiaste 7:20); but one who, for all his sins, resorted to the ordinances, and offered in faith the required sacrifice (for example) (Levitico 4:27).
