This name is a prophetic declaration of God's provision of righteousness to His people. It appears in Jeremiah 23:6 and Jeremiah 33:16, where it is used to describe the future reign of a righteous king from the line of David, under whom Judah will be saved and Israel will dwell securely. The name signifies that the LORD Himself will be the source of righteousness for His people, highlighting the divine initiative in establishing justice and righteousness. This title underscores the covenant relationship between God and His people, where God promises to be their righteousness, fulfilling His covenantal promises through the coming of a messianic figure.
