The righteous symbolize human perfection – they bring order first to their inward nature and then to their environment – they also fill the role of what is truly a good force.
The righteous set everything in its place, regulating all things with moderation and, in so doing, respond to their regulating and creative role.
The righteous fulfill in themselves the duties of the scale with both pans in perfect balance and on the same levels. The righteous are, therefore beyond conflict and confrontation; actualizing oneness within theme selves and thereby becoming already part of eternity, which is one and whole and unaffected by the disjunctive effect of the temporal. This is way the righteous occupy such an important place in the Bible, thinking and acting with serious and orderly moderation.
