How many times is Satan mentioned in the old testament?

Answer 1

In the Old Testament, Satan is mentioned explicitly only a few times. The most notable references are found in the Book of Job, where he appears as an accuser in the heavenly court, and in Zechariah 3:1-2, where he stands to accuse the high priest Joshua. Overall, the concept of Satan as an adversary is less developed in the Old Testament compared to later texts in the New Testament.
