The name Samael (Hebrew: ""venom of God"" or ""blind God"" in Gnostic contexts) appears in Jewish literature from the 2nd century BCE onward as an adversarial angel drawing on the Satan archetype.

In Sethian cosmology, Samael refers to his blindness to the divine world above him (he sees only the material realm and his own creation); in Jewish tradition Samael is the chief adversarial angel. The identification equates the Gnostic chief Archon with the Jewish demonic adversary, positioning Yaldabaoth as both the material creator and the divine opponent. This identification is one of the sharpest theological provocations in Sethian Gnostic theology — equating the creator God of the Hebrew Bible with the adversary.
