In ancient Jewish tradition Satan is simply an angel doing the work that God assigned to Satan to do.
The word Satan means challenger. With the idea of Satan challenging us, or tempting if you will. This description sees Satan as the angel who is the embodiment of man's challenges. This idea of Satan works closely with God as an integral part of God plan for us. His job is to make choosing good over evil enough of a challenge so that it becomes clear to us that there can be only one meaningful or logical choice.
Contrast this to Christianity, which sees Satan as God's opponent. In Jewish thought, the idea that there exists anything capable of setting itself up as God's opponent would be considered polytheistic or setting up the devil to be an equally powerful polarity to god or a demigod.
Oddly, proof for The Christian satan/devil mythology is supposedly found in the ancient Jewish texts that were borrowed to create the bible. One can’t help but wonder how Christians came up with such a fantastically different interpretation of Gods assistant Satan in their theology.
Other hints about Satan’s role in human relations can be seen if you look at the name Lucifer. It meaning in the original tongue translates as Light bearer or light bringer. Essentially the bringer of enlightenment. The temptations of the Satan idea bring all of us eventually into Gods light. Hardly the Evil entity of Christian mythology.

To be as God, to be worshiped. To sit on the sides of the north. To confuse man. When Satan was expelled from heaven before man was created, he was able to trick man out of his inheritance and take his place. that's why in the book of Job , Satan was able to speak with God in heaven. Satan has the ability to enter any Idol made by the hands of man to be worshiped of him .
Satan has said "I will ascend into heaven , I will exalt my throne above the stars of God: I Iwill 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.And God said , Yet thou shall be brought down to hell, to the sides of the pit. Isaiah 14, vs 12 to 15
