the Satan
One who opposes or acts as an adversary; generally denotes an adversary, accuser, or obstructer in legal, political, or cosmic contexts. When used with the definite article (הַשָּׂטָן, 'the adversary'), may refer to a particular supernatural being serving as an accuser or prosecutor figure. The term can refer to both human and non-human opponents, and not always with the theological connotations found in later literature.

SIBI-P1 Translation H7854-01
the adversary
| Morphological Notes | Masculine singular common noun in the absolute state with prefixed definite article (הַשָּׂטָן). |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun derives from the root meaning 'to oppose or obstruct' and denotes one who stands in opposition. The prefixed definite article (הַ) and masculine singular form require the rendering 'the adversary,' reflecting a specific opposing figure rather than a proper name. |
