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. [citation needed] He is mentioned in Middle Eastern writings in conjunction with such Jebusite names as Adonizedek (My Lord is Zedek). [citation needed] 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.
