According to the etymology, Samael means Poison (Sama) of God (El). It is also called accuser, seducer, blind god, and destroyer.
"There was war in heaven. Michael and his angels fought against the dragon. They also fought the dragon and his angels; yet they did not prevail; neither was their place found in heaven. And the great dragon, the ancient serpent, was cast out. who is called the devil, and Satan, the seducer of the whole world, was thrown down to the earth, and with him his angels . "
Revelation 12: 7-9


Jewish and Kabbalah traditions;

In Kabbalah he was one of the seven Angels who stood before the Throne of God ( Revelation 8: 2 ) and are representations of the Divine Powers. Such cosmic powers can be both positively and negatively polarized within the human being. The negative polarity of Samael's cosmic energy is symbolized by a fallen angel whose consort is Lilith .
In Jewish traditions he is identified as the Angel of Death , the former chief of the fifth heaven and also one of the seven rulers of the material world served by millions of angels.
Samael is said to have taken Lilith as his wife after she repudiated Adam . According to Rabbi Eliezer, he (Samael) was in charge of tempting EveAfter seducing her and mating with her, he engineered Cain .
It is also considered the angel who fought with Jacob ( Genesis 32: 24-31 ) and the angel who held Abraham's arm at the time of Isaac's sacrifice Genesis 22: 1-13 ). According to Kabbalah it is described as the "wrath of God" and is considered the fifth archangel in the world of Briah. He was the guardian angel of Esau and patron of the Roman Empire.
Samael corresponds to Sefirot Geburah, meaning "the force". The demons associated with him are described as yellow monsters with dog bodies and demon heads. Geburah is also associated with will, revenge and fanaticism. Thus Samael becomes the force, the one who uses the weapons of mars against those who deny the existence of God and any being above the self.

Gnostic Christian Traditions;

In the Christian traditions of Gnostic origin (see John Apocrypha ) found in the Nag Hammadi Library , Samael is the third name of the demon Demiurge whose other names are: Yaldabaoth and Saclas [1] . It is in this context that his name means "blind god". He is portrayed by a lion-faced serpent and is the son of Aeon Sophia against whom he rebels.
In the book titled On the Origin of the World , which is part of the same library, Samael is also called Ariael ( "like a lion") [2] .

Canonical Christian Traditions;

"How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning! How art thou cast down to the ground, thou that didst weaken the nations! Thou said in thy heart, I will ascend to heaven; I will sit down from the congregation at the ends of the north; I will ascend above the highest clouds, and be like the Most High. "
Isaiah 14: 12-14
According to canonical Christian traditions, Samael was Lucifer (Light Bearer), the angel who was closest to God. Wanting to usurp the throne of God by becoming like Him, he gathered a third of the heavenly militias and fought a battle with the faithful angelic hosts, being defeated after a hard battle against the archangel Michael (whose original name is Mikha'El and means "Who is like God?") being precipitated in Hades ( Hell ).
While falling in Tartarus , Michael and the faithful angels shouted: Samael! Samael! Samael! Alluding to the fall of the one who wanted to be like God but had become Satan .
The biblical passage Isaiah 14: 12-14 refers to the king of Babylonand not to an angel, so much so that the title of that chapter 14 is "The king of Babylon in the world of the dead.
In the Book of Job is the assertion that Satan was surrounding the earth" ( Job 2: 2 ).
