Satan "The satan", meaning literally "the adversary", appears in the prose prologue of Job, as one of the celestial beings created by God in the heavenly court. In Judaism, he is traditionally understood as a metaphor, such as in the writings of Zerahiah ben Shealtiel Ḥen and other Talmudic scholars following Maimonides. but in apocalyptic literature sometimes understood to be the accusing angel whose role is to accuse mankind, and who is "the author of all evil, who brought death into the world". In Christianity, Satan is traditionally understood to be the devil, a fallen angel and less commonly taken as a metaphor. As a member of a Divine Council "the adversary" observes human activity with the purpose of searching out men's sins and acting as their accuser. "The adversary" occurs in the framing story alone—he is never clearly alluded to in the central poem. However, Abaddon and Sheol are mentioned throughout the central poem. Job does speak of an adversary on several occasions within the central poem, but it is doubtful that he is referring to "the Adversary" of the prose prologue. [mehr]
