520			_aצדקה and צדק, both usually translated righteousness, are key words found throughout the Old Testament. This research project analyses each appearance of these words from the Hebrew scriptures and gives recommendations for translation into English based on a study of relevant resources and several existing Bible versions. Consideration will also be given to δικαιοσύνη in the Greek scriptures as those authors were writing from a Hebrew or Aramaic mindset. Other concepts besides righteousness are often intended by the author, especially prominent among these is justice. It will be argued that righteousness is rarely the best choice of terms even when that concept is required.
