I am not aware of a tradition before Jesus that sees Satan in Isaiah 14:12, but there are several factors contributing to this: the "personification" of "the satan " [הַשָּׂטָ֖ן] (= "the a/Adversary") (with an article) comes very late - it's " the satan " in Job 1-2, Zech. 3:-12 -- so not a proper name, but a title or role designation ...
As a name for the Devil, the more common meaning in English, "Lucifer" is the rendering of the Hebrew word הֵילֵל (transliteration: hêylêl; pronunciation: hay-lale)[3] in Isaiah (Isaiah 14:12) given in the King James Version of the Bible. The translators of this version took the word from the Latin Vulgate,[4] which translated ...
The word "Satan" (H7854) does not even appear anywhere in the books of Isaiah or Ezekiel. Isaiah 14: 12 How you have fallen from heaven, morning star, son of the dawn! You have been cast down to the earth, you who once laid low the nations! OP: The common interpretation of Isaiah 14 and Ezekiel 28, is telling about Satan and him being cast down.
KJV Isaiah 14:12. How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning! how art thou cut down to the ground, which didst weaken the nations! NRSV Isaiah 14:12. How you are fallen from heaven, O Day Star, son of Dawn! How you are cut down to the ground, you who laid the nations low!
This is not satan 14:4 Isaiah say he a ruler {14:5}who conquered other nations. {14:6}As he is defeated the nations rejoice {14:7)figuratively speaking even the trees of Lebanon rejoice, for he will no longer be cutting them down for his building projects {How the Lord brought this King low, breaking his rod and septer.
That is interesting. In the Hebrew Interlinear, Isa. 14:12 transliteration "helel ben-sahar", or "son of the morning" was referring to the king of Babylon, not Satan. Maybe God used the very words the Babylonians used in referring to their king. Shining one, and god of the morning was often a reference to Venus, which was also called Attar.
If one begins from a premise that there is an entity titled Lucifer which is also called Satan that was a fallen angel (based on other texts such as Isaiah 14:12, Luke 10:18, Revelation 12:9; 20:2, and the Book of Enoch)†, when you then encounter Ezekiel 28:11-19 it very much appears that this might also refer to Lucifer : Ezekiel 28:11-12
Isaiah 14:12. Satan is not mentioned in this verse - the reference is to "the King of Babylon", V4. However, a common interpretation of Isa 14:12 and the next few verses is that the taunt-song against the king of Babylon is that he represents Satan; There is no phrase in the Hebrew that says "Morning Star".
It is not a proper name but the Latin word for ‘morning star.’. The word lucifer occurs four times in the Vulgate: Isa 14:12, Job 11:17, Job 38:32, and 2 Peter 1:19. In Job 11:17, the KJV renders the Hebrew word בקר as ‘morning’: et quasi meridianus fulgor consurget tibi ad vesperam et cum te consumptum putaveris orieris ut lucifer.
Isa 14 is part of a larger passage, Isa 13:1 - Isa 14:27 - a prophecy about the king of Babylon. This much is not controversial. However, many Christians have understood a few verses (Isa 14:12-15) in this prophecy about the king of Babylon as describing the origin and fall of Satan.
