Genesis 15:6

And he was trusted562 in Yahweh, and he is interweaving563 her to-himself a just-one.564

Footnote:

564

He is regarding her to himself a just-one. The Hebrew יחשבה, yachshevehah (#2803) has a feminine direct object suffix denoting a “her”. We find this same verb construct in Genesis 38:15, “And Judah is seeing her, and he is regarding [yachshevehah] her for a harlot” and in 1 Samuel 1:13, “and Eli is regarding [yachshevehah] her for a drunk.”

The noun “justice” (#6666) is in the feminine, tsedaqah. “Righteousness” is an abstract interpretation of what is really an objective concept—just or justice. This is the “Bride” of Heaven. Justice in the feminine appears in the Proverbs and Prophets and also in Genesis 18:19, Deuteronomy 24:13, Psalm 33:5, 106:3, and Job 37:23.
