{{bl| Tsadi צ exchanged his righteousness }}

He ''tsadi'' צ is drawn like an ''ayin'' ע but leaning the other way, with the burden of the creation (a ''yod'' י) on his back. This time the letter goes into the point of the cross (lower right corner).

''Tsadi'' צד means 'provision'. It is the provision of righteousness that Christ offered his creation on the cross. 
<ref>{{bgw| Ro 8:22 }} For we know that the whole creation groaneth and travaileth in pain together until now.</ref> 
Where the ''ayin'' ע was the bearing of sin, the ''tsadi'' is the gift of righteousness through his death. When you draw the ''tsadi'' say, "He gave his righteousness". <ref group="v">tsadi צ or צד - provision, ''m.'' righteousness</ref>
