How many more times must I do it before it sinks in?
It's not even controversial;
''The word Satan is the English transliteration of a Hebrew word for “adversary” in the Bible. With the definite article, the Hebrew word denotes “the adversary” par excellence, mainly in the Book of Job, where the adversary comes to the heavenly court with the “sons of God.” His task is to roam the earth (like a contemporaneous Persian official) seeking out acts or persons to be reported adversely (to the king); his function thus is the opposite of that of the “eyes of the Lord,” which roam the earth strengthening all that is good.'' - Britannica.
God being equated to satan in verse;
"Again the anger of the LORD was aroused against Israel, and He moved David against them to say, "Go, number Israel and Judah."" (II Samuel 24:1).
"Now Satan stood up against Israel, and moved David to number Israel" (I Chronicles 21:1).
satan as an adversary
''means “an accuser,” with the nuances of either a slanderer or an adversary. 5 In the Hebrew Bible, the noun Satan is used to refer to both human adversaries (the terrestrial Satan) and a supernatural adversary (the celestial Satan).''
