Samael
Samael ( SAM-ee-el; Hebrew: סַמָּאֵל, romanized: Sammāʾēl, lit. 'Venom of God'; Arabic: سمسمائيل, romanized: Samsamāʾīl, سمائل, Sammāʾil, or سامائيل, Sāmāʾīl), also spelled Smil, Samil, or Samiel, is an archangel in Talmudic and post-Talmudic tradition—a figure who is the accuser or adversary (Satan in the Book of Job), seducer, and destroying angel (in the Book of Exodus, though neither Job nor Exodus mentions Samael). Although many of his functions resemble the Christian notion of Satan, to the point of being sometimes identified as a fallen angel, he is not necessarily evil, since his functions are also regarded as resulting in good, such as destroying sinners.
