In each of the major poems, Hebraic righteousness serves as a model for the main characters' actions: In Paradise Lost, the Son reminds the Father that divine justice is also divine righteousness by calling upon Abraham's conversation with God regarding the destruction of Sodom, and Adam and Eve exercise their righteousness through discourse and hosting the angel Raphael; in Paradise Regained, the Son employs his understanding of Job's perfect righteousness and of Moses' mistake to sustain his rebuttals to Satan; and in Samson Agonistes, Samson's development is modeled after Psalmic repentance that requires a belief that a retrieval of personal righteousness is always available through appeal to divine righteousness.	cache/tb09j389h7m.txt	txt/tb09j389h7m.txt
