Berean Strong's Lexicon Satan: Satan Original Word: Σατανᾶς Word Origin: Derived from the Hebrew שָׂטָן (Satan), meaning "adversary" or "accuser." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - H7854 - שָׂטָן (Satan): Refers to an adversary or accuser, used in the Old Testament to describe both human and supernatural adversaries. Usage: In the New Testament, "Satan" refers to the chief adversary of God and humanity, often depicted as a personal being who embodies evil and opposes God's purposes. He is known as the tempter, the accuser of the brethren, and the ruler of this world. Satan's role is to deceive, tempt, and lead people away from God. Cultural and Historical Background: In Jewish and early Christian thought, Satan is understood as a fallen angel who rebelled against God. His role as an adversary is evident in various intertestamental literature and is further developed in the New Testament. The concept of Satan as a personal being who actively works against God's plans was well established by the time of the New Testament writings.
