Zedek

Zedek
Justice.
Etymology:
"Zedek or Tzedek, West Semitic for "Justice", was probably the name of the chief god of the Jebusites, and possibly of other Canaanite people. He is mentioned in the Tanakh and in other Middle Eastern writings in conjunction with such Jebusite names as Melchizedek ("My king is Zedek") and Adonizedek (My Lord is Zedek). Some writers have speculated about a connection between Zedek and the planet Jupiter; however, such speculation is not based on any extant archaeological evidence, but rather on the fact that current Jewish astrologers use the name Tzedek when referring to the planet Jupiter" (Wikipedia).
