Dear Chris,

In the quotation below and the longer text of your post, you are
making theological claims, not exegetical or linguistic ones.

HH: Here's a linguistic one. This is an entry for &+N ("Satan") from The Hebrew and Aramaic Lexicon of the Old Testament:

-3. sía¦tˆa¦n as a personal name, without the article 1C 21:1; clearly also a celestial figure who incited David to make a census, see Rudolph Chr. 142f; THAT 2:823 (with bibliography).

HH: The BAG lexicon has under &+N: "as n. pr. Satan 1 Ch 21:1 (interp. 2 Sam 24:1) . . . ."

HH: It would be helpful to see how the word was used in intertestamental literature, but I do not have the resources with me.

Yours,
Harold Holmyard
