Tsadi צ exchanged his righteousness

Tsadi צ exchanged his righteousness [∞]

Discussion

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. 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".
