Distribution Verification: tsadaq in Sanctuary/Ritual Contexts

Claim to verify (Bohr): tsadaq is "not connected with the ritual of the sanctuary but rather is a legal term."

Finding from H6663-tsadaq.md distribution table: - Job: 23 occurrences (56%) - Isaiah: 8 (20%) - Psalms: 5 - Daniel: 4 (including Dan 8:14 nitsdaq, Dan 9:24 via context, Dan 12:3 matsdiqey) - Genesis: 3 - Ezekiel: 3 - Exodus: 2 (Exo 23:7 courtroom context — "I will not justify the wicked") - Deuteronomy: 1 (Deu 25:1 — courtroom: "justify the righteous, condemn the wicked")

Leviticus: 0 occurrences. Numbers: 0 occurrences.

tsadaq does not appear in ANY of the ritual legislation of the Pentateuch. Its two Pentateuchal occurrences (Exo 23:7 and Deu 25:1) are in judicial/courtroom contexts, not ritual/sanctuary contexts. Bohr's claim is confirmed by the data.

The vocabulary gap between Leviticus (kaphar/taher vocabulary) and the vindication vocabulary (tsadaq) is absolute. Dan 9:24 is the ONLY verse in Scripture where both vocabulary systems appear together (lekhapper avon + tsedeq olamim).
