Language & etymology
What the name means.
Zadok (Tzadok) is related to the Hebrew root ts-d-q, righteousness. Zadok is a priest in David’s reign, not a divine name.
Gematria
The numeric value.
Tsadi 90 + Dalet 4 + Vav 6 + Qof 100 = 200
Numeric value is a traditional interpretive practice; it is not the word’s etymology and does not establish doctrine.
Paleo-Hebrew character
A devotional reflection.
These ancient Hebrew-script forms accompany a devotional meditation, not a historical translation or proof of etymology. Letter-picture associations are interpretive and do not establish doctrine.
