Strong's Lexicon set: Adversary, accuser Original Word: שֵׂט Word Origin: From the root verb שָׂטַן (satan), meaning "to oppose" or "to act as an adversary." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G4567 (Σατανᾶς, Satanas): Used in the New Testament to refer to Satan, the adversary. - G1228 (διάβολος, diabolos): Often translated as "devil," meaning accuser or slanderer, and used interchangeably with Satan in the New Testament. Usage: In the Hebrew Bible, שָׂטָן (satan) is used to describe an adversary or one who opposes. It can refer to human adversaries, but it is most famously used to describe a supernatural being who opposes God and His people. This being, often referred to as "Satan," is depicted as an accuser and tempter, seeking to lead people away from God. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Near Eastern cultures, the concept of a supernatural adversary was not unique to Israel. However, the Hebrew Bible presents a distinct understanding of this figure as one who operates under God's sovereign permission, as seen in the Book of Job. The role of Satan evolves in later Jewish literature and is further developed in the New Testament, where Satan is portrayed as the ultimate enemy of God and His people.
