Description	Content
Article description: (`description`) This attribute controls the content of the `description` and `og:description` elements.	In its original appearance in Judaism, "Satan" was actually a title -- haSatan, or "the Satan". (The root s-t-n in Hebrew means "adversary" or "opponent", and ha is the definite article.) It is the term for the Evil Inclination, the counterpart to the Good Inclination, which are Judaism's equivalent to the angel and devil on each shoulder (i.e., it is an internal rather than an external influence on human action). The word was also used for mortal functionaries—often what would be called investigators or spymasters today—in the courts of earthly kings. However, on some occasions it also seems to refer to that spirit or angel in God's court, who would test or question the faith of mortals. An analogy frequently used in rabbinical literature to describe this state of affairs is that of a prostitute a king hires to try to seduce his son: the prostitute, no less than the king, wants the son to pass the test and resist her advances, but is still obliged to work as hard as she can to make him fail because that's what the king wants. Sort of like the professional OPFOR (opposing force) used in militaries.
