Zedek

Zedek

Zedek, or Tzedek, or Sydyc, West Semitic for "Justice", was probably the name of the chief god of the Jebusites, and possibly of other Canaanite people. Fact|date=September 2008 He is mentioned in Middle Eastern writings in conjunction with such Jebusite names as Adonizedek (My Lord is Zedek). Fact|date=September 2008 Zedek has been associated with the planet Jupiter at least since the Talmudic era. Jupiter is called by that name in Hebrew astronomy, while the malakh of the planet is often named "Zedekiel".

Zedek, as worshipped by the Jebusites, may have been identical with
El (אל). In such a case "Zedek" would likely just be a prominent epithet.
