This is in contrast to parts of the Bible that describe the devil as traveling about the earth, like Job 1:6–7 [231] and 1 Peter 5:8, [232] discussed above.

Similarly to the Quranic usage, the term referred to the hosts of Satan. [10] Book of Jubilees mentions the shayṭān Mastema, who commands over evil spirits (manafəsəta).
