Satan

The Adversary [Hebrew: Satan] now rose up against Isra'el and incited David to take a census of Isra'el.

It happened one day that the sons of God came to serve ADONAI, and among them came the Adversary [Hebrew: Satan].

ADONAI asked the Adversary, "Where are you coming from?" The Adversary answered ADONAI, "From roaming through the earth, wandering here and there."

ADONAI asked the Adversary, "Did you notice my servant Iyov, that there's no one like him on earth, a blameless and upright man who fears God and shuns evil?"

The Adversary answered ADONAI, "Is it for nothing that Iyov fears God?

ADONAI said to the Adversary, "Here! Everything he has is in your hands, except that you are not to lay a finger on his person." Then the Adversary went out from the presence of ADONAI.

Another day came when the sons of God came to serve ADONAI, and among them came the Adversary to serve ADONAI.

ADONAI asked the Adversary, "Where are you coming from?" The Adversary answered ADONAI, "From roaming through the earth, wandering here and there."

ADONAI asked the Adversary, "Did you notice my servant Iyov, that there's no one like him on earth, a blameless and upright man who fears God and shuns evil, and that he still holds on to his integrity, even though you provoked me against him to destroy him for no reason?"

The Adversary answered ADONAI, "Skin for skin! A person will give up everything he has to save his life.

ADONAI said to the Adversary, "Here! He is in your hands, except that you are to spare his life."

Then the Adversary went out from the presence of ADONAI and struck Iyov down with horrible infected sores from the sole of his foot to the crown of his head.

[They say,] "Appoint a wicked man over him, may an accuser stand at his right.

He showed me Y'hoshua the cohen hagadol standing before the angel of ADONAI, with the Accuser [Hebrew: Satan] standing at his right to accuse him.

ADONAI said to the Accuser, "May ADONAI rebuke you, Accuser! Indeed, may ADONAI, who has made Yerushalayim his choice, rebuke you! Isn't this man a burning stick snatched from the fire?"

"Away with you, Satan!" Yeshua told him, "For the Tanakh says, `Worship ADONAI your God, and serve only him.'"

It is enough for a talmid that he become like his rabbi, and a slave like his master. Now if people have called the head of the house Ba`al-Zibbul, how much more will they malign the members of his household!

But when the P'rushim heard of it, they said, "It is only by Ba`al-Zibbul" -- the ruler of the demons -- "that this man drives out demons."

If Satan drives out Satan, he is divided against himself; so how can his kingdom survive?

Besides, if I drive out demons by Ba`al-Zibbul, by whom do your people drive them out? So, they will be your judges!

But Yeshua turned his back on Kefa, saying, "Get behind me, Satan! You are an obstacle in my path, because your thinking is from a human perspective, not from God's perspective!"

and he was in the wilderness forty days being tempted by the Adversary. He was with the wild animals, and the angels took care of him.

The Torah-teachers who came down from Yerushalayim said, "He has Ba`alZibbul in him," and "It is by the ruler of the demons that he expels the demons."

But he called them and spoke to them in parables: "How can Satan expel Satan?

So if Satan has rebelled against himself and is divided, he can't survive either; and that's the end of him.
