adversary
A Dictionary of the Bible | Date: 1997
adversary In Hebrew, ‘
Satan’, or ‘the Accuser’ (Job 1: 6, NRSV marg.); his role is to find out about human frailties and provoke the innocent to sin. The sons of Zeruiah became an adversary to
David (2 Sam. 19: 22) in opposing the will of God. In the NT Satan is the adversary
par excellence (1 Pet. 5: 8).
