@caissad4 saidThis website has Job written in the 2nd millennium B.C. and Exodus written in 1446 to 1406 B.C.
Funnier still is that Satan was not incorporated into Judaism until the captivity in Babylon . The concept was "borrowed" from Zoroastrianism during captivity . And millions and millions of Christians believe Satan is part of Abrahamic religion . No dirty Devil , no Hell , no kidding .

The actual Exodus (the event, not the book) took place centuries *after* Job was written.
@caissad4 saidLooks like I confused the Babylonian and Egyptian captivities.

The Babylonian captivity was even more recent than the Egyptian captivity!
@caissad4 saidHe’s portrayed as a “dirty old devil” in Isaiah, and, unless I’m mistaken, Isaiah was written before the Babylonian captivity, though not by much.
And Satan is portrayed as "the tester " , not that dirty old devil .
“How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning! how art thou cut down to the ground, which didst weaken the nations!
For thou hast said in thine heart, I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God: I will sit also upon the mount of the congregation, in the sides of the north:
I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will be like the most High.
Yet thou shalt be brought down to hell, to the sides of the pit.”
(Isaiah 14:12-15)
It appears Isaiah was written around 700 B.C. and the Babylonian captivity started around 597 B.C.
@pb1022 saidLucifer and Satan are the same person ????

LMAO !
@caissad4 saidSo are you now willing to admit you were wrong when you wrote “Satan was not incorporated into Judaism until the captivity in Babylon”?
Indeed !
Satan is directly mentioned in the first chapter of the oldest book of the Holy Bible, which was written centuries before the Babylonian captivity.
You’re just flat-out wrong and too prideful to admit it.
