I’ve been studying the Book of Job and wrote a literary retelling from ha-satan’s perspective, trying to honor the Hebrew text’s portrayal of him as divine prosecutor rather than the later Christian devil figure.
The piece examines:
– Ha-satan as member of the divine council (bene elohim)
– His function as quality control/tester of righteousness
– The tragedy of Job’s children who die unnamed
– Job never learning the reason for his suffering
I’m coming at this as a writer interested in biblical narratives, and I want to be respectful of Jewish interpretation. I’d genuinely appreciate feedback on whether the piece accurately represents the text and ha-satan’s role as understood in Jewish tradition.

Thank you in advance for any insights.
