Talk:Zedek
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
From the current page:
"Some writers have speculated about a connection between Zedek and the planet Jupiter; however, such speculation is not based on any extant archeological evidence."
It's obvious that Tzedek is a reference to the planet Jupiter, and not just speculation.
Do a Google search using the following:
http://www.google.com/search?q=tzedek+jupiter+jewish+astrology
You can see that Jewish astrologers still use Tzedek for the name of Jupiter, so I don't see why it should be considered mere speculation.
- Well, now it says "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." Asside from the awkward phrasing, this makes it sound even shakier. I'm pretty sure the use of Tzedek as the name of the planet Jupiter goes back much farther than "current astrologers." Really we shoudl be looking for the earliest attested use, not the current use. --Iustinus 04:17, 23 February 2007 (UTC)

- I also saw a problem with that sentence which is why I visited this talk page. Zedek and Jupiter are connected. The question is, how far back. I'm betting quite a ways back. Lisa the Sociopath 23:04, 30 October 2007 (UTC)
