Commentary on Matthew 1:19
Joseph's righteousness is seen in his desire to protect Mary from public shame rather than making a spectacle of her perceived adultery. The phrase 'not willing to make her a public example' reveals covenant love (hesed) and mercy. His righteousness was not cold legalism but grace-filled obedience, foreshadowing the gospel principle that true righteousness flows from a transformed heart.
