his righteousness
The quality or state of being just, righteous, or in conformity to an ethical or legal standard; frequently denotes social justice, fairness, or acts of righteousness, often in maintaining proper relationships within community or fulfilling communal and covenantal responsibilities. The term can indicate both an abstract quality and concrete acts or deeds reflecting that quality. In poetic and prophetic literature, it often appears as a parallel to 'mishpat' (judgment/justice), emphasizing equitable conduct, impartiality, or the fulfillment of one's duty to the community or the divine covenant. In some contexts, it also refers to generosity, almsgiving, or charitable deeds (especially in later usage).
