Israel was commanded to walk in the paths of righteousness and to offer the sacrifices of righteousness, putting their trust in the Lord. Nevertheless, Jehovah, who is perfectly righteous, cannot overlook the lack of righteousness in man, for “He will by no means clear the guilty” Num. 14:18.
It was prophesied by Isaiah that “in the Lord shall all the seed of Israel be justified” Isa 45:25. Jesus is that righteousness for both the Jews and the Gentiles; it is bestowed upon us as a free gift through faith.
