For Elohim knows that when you eat from it your eyes will be opened, and you will be like Elohim, knowing good and evil.”

The woman was convinced. She saw that the tree was beautiful and its fruit looked delicious, and she wanted the wisdom it would give her. So she took some of the fruit and ate it. Then she gave some to her husband, who was with her, and he ate it, too.

Then the eyes of both of them were opened, and they realized they were naked; so they sewed fig leaves together and made coverings for themselves

Here is what God says:

Don’t let the wise boast in their wisdom, or the powerful boast in their power, or the rich boast in their riches

Because those who wish to boast
should boast in this alone:

That they truly know me
and by understanding
that I am God [YHVH], defined by
He who demonstrates unfailing love
and who brings justice
and righteousness to the earth,
and in these things I find delight.

https://t.me/torahtruth

What does RIGHTEOUSNESS really mean and where does it originate from?

Definitions:
צָדַק tsâdaq, tsaw-dak';
a primitive root; to be (causatively, make) right (in a moral or forensic sense):—cleanse, clear self, (be, do) just(-ice, -ify, -ify self), (be turn to) righteous(-ness).

Example:
מִדְּבַר־שֶׁקֶר תִּרְחָק וְנָקִי וְצַדִּיק אַֽל־תַּהֲרֹג כִּי לֹא־אַצְדִּיק רָשָֽׁע

Keep thee far from a false matter; and the innocent and righteous slay thou not: for I will not justify the wicked

#Exodus 23:7

https://t.me/torahtruth

יוֹדֵעַ צַדִּיק נֶפֶשׁ בְּהֶמְתּוֹ וְֽרַחֲמֵי רְשָׁעִים אַכְזָרִֽי. עֹבֵד אַדְמָתוֹ יִֽשְׂבַּֽע־לָחֶם וּמְרַדֵּף רֵיקִים חֲסַר־לֵֽב. חָמַד רָשָׁע מְצוֹד רָעִים וְשֹׁרֶשׁ צַדִּיקִים יִתֵּֽן. בְּפֶשַׁע שְׂפָתַיִם מוֹקֵשׁ רָע וַיֵּצֵא מִצָּרָה צַדִּֽיק. מִפְּרִי פִי־ אִישׁ יִשְׂבַּע־טוֹב וּגְמוּל יְדֵי־אָדָם ישוב לֽוֹ.

Righteous people take good care of their animals, but the wicked know only how to be cruel. Farmers who work their land have plenty of food, but those who waste their time on worthless projects are foolish. The wicked want a share of what an evil man might catch.

But like a plant with deep roots, a righteous man is the one who produces the most.

The wicked are trapped by their foolish words, but righteous people escape from such trouble. People get good things for the words they say, and they are rewarded for the work they do. Fools always think their own way is best, but wise people listen to what others tell them.

A Meditation; Psalm by David

I said to myself,

“I will watch my ways, and keep my tongue from sin, like putting a muzzle on my mouth while in the company of the wicked.”

So I did; remaining completely silent, not even saying anything good. But my anguish increased; my heart grew hot within me

I meditated, while the fire burned;
then I spoke with my tongue:

“Show me, Lord, how is my life going end? When I complete the number of my days; let me know why is life so fleeting?
