| 1388 | Angra Mainyu ENT_ZOR_ANGRA_MAINYU | received_as | Satan ENT_ISR_SATAN | medium | In early Hebrew texts, "the satan" (the accuser) is a member of Yahweh's heavenly court (Job 1–2; Zechariah 3:1–2) — not an independent cosmic evil. The development of Satan as an independent adversarial power opposing God (1 Enoch 6–11; Jubilees 10; later Revelation) parallels the Zoroastrian Angra Mainyu (cosmic adversary of Ahura Mazda, independent evil principle). Jews under Persian/Achaemenid rule (6th–4th c. BCE) had direct access to Zoroastrian theology; Boyce and DDD_BIBLE s.v. "Satan" both discuss the probable structural influence. Confidence medium: the development could be endogenous; the influence is probable but not textually demonstrable. | Mary Boyce, Zoroastrians SRC_BOYCE_ZOROASTRIANS | reviewed | Exilic and Post-Exilic PER_ISR_EXILIC |
| 1423 | Iblis ENT_ISL_IBLIS | reception_of | Satan ENT_ISR_SATAN | high | Iblis as Islamic reception of the Hebrew/Christian Satan; same function (cosmic adversary, tempter of humanity), name Shaytan cognate with Hebrew satan, same narrative structure (expelled from divine presence for pride/disobedience). | Qur’an SRC_QURAN | reviewed | Early Islam PER_ISL_EARLY |
| 1453 | Samael ENT_GNO_SAMAEL | reception_of | Satan ENT_ISR_SATAN | medium | Samael as reception of the Satan/accuser tradition in Jewish-Gnostic theology; Zohar identifies Samael as the serpent/adversary and chief of the sitra achra. | Zohar SRC_ZOHAR | reviewed | Late Antiquity PER_LATE_ANTIQUE |
| 2426 | Mastema ENT_ISR_MASTEMA | aligned_with | Satan ENT_ISR_SATAN | high | Mastema ("Hostility / Enmity") in Jubilees and Satan in Job and the DSS (especially the Community Rule and War Scroll) serve the same structural function — the adversarial/accusatory divine agent who tests, afflicts, and accuses humanity before God. In Jubilees 17:16, Mastema brings the accusation that prompts God to test Abraham (the binding of Isaac): "Mastema came and said before God, 'Behold, Abraham loves Isaac, his son, and he delights in him above all things. Tell him to offer him as a burnt offering on the altar.'" This is the exact role of the satan figure in Job 1:9-11. In Jubilees 48:1-18, Mastema actively assists the Egyptians against Moses — precisely the adversarial role the Devil plays in Christian typological readings. Most scholars treat Mastema as the Jubilees-tradition name for the same divine-adversary function that the DSS and later Christian tradition calls "Satan." Collins (2016) pp. 92-95. | James C. VanderKam (trans.), The Book of Jubilees (2 vols.; CSCO 510–511, Scriptores Aethiopici 87–88; Peeters, Leuven, 1989) SRC_JUBILEES | reviewed | Second Temple Period PER_ISR_SECOND_TEMPLE |
| 7205 | The Witch's Familiar (familiar spirit) ENT_DEMX_WITCH_FAMILIAR | member_of | Satan ENT_ISR_SATAN | medium | Witch-trial demonology holds familiar spirits are imps assigned by the Devil to the witch under the demonic pact; the class is subordinate to / derives under Satan (recast from reception_of to member_of for correct subordination semantics). | J. A. S. Collin de Plancy, Dictionnaire Infernal (1818; 6th ed. 1863) SRC_DEPLANCY_INFERNAL | reviewed | |
| 7648 | Satan (LaVeyan / symbolic adversary) ENT_SAT_LAVEYAN_SATAN | reception_of | Satan ENT_ISR_SATAN | high | The LaVeyan symbolic adversary is a modern reinterpretation of the biblical/Second-Temple Satan, stripped of literal existence and recast as the carnal self. | Anton Szandor LaVey, The Satanic Bible (1969) SRC_LAVEY_SATANIC_BIBLE | reviewed | |
| 7649 | Satan (theistic Satanism) ENT_SAT_THEISTIC_SATAN | reception_of | Satan ENT_ISR_SATAN | high | Theistic Satanism's worshipped Satan is a devotional reception of the biblical/Second-Temple adversary as a literal deity. | Jesper Aagaard Petersen (ed.), Contemporary Religious Satanism: A Critical Anthology (2009) SRC_PETERSEN_RELIGIOUS_SATANISM | reviewed |
