Context: The term צִדְקָה (tsidqāh) appears in the Aramaic portions of the Old Testament, specifically in the book of Daniel. It is used to describe the concept of righteousness or justice, often in relation to divine judgment or the moral character expected of individuals. In Daniel 4:27 (BSB), the term is used in the context of advising King Nebuchadnezzar to "break away from your sins by doing what is right, and from your iniquities by showing mercy to the oppressed," highlighting the connection between righteousness and acts of beneficence or mercy. This reflects the broader biblical theme that true righteousness is demonstrated through just and compassionate actions.
