The early English settlers of North America, especially the Puritans of New England, believed that Satan "visibly and palpably" reigned in the New World. [164] John Winthrop claimed that the Devil made rebellious Puritan women give birth to stillborn monsters with claws, sharp horns, and "on each foot three claws, like a young fowl". [165] Cotton Mather wrote that devils swarmed around Puritan settlements "like the frogs of Egypt". [166] The Puritans believed that the Native Americans were worshippers of Satan [167] and described them as "children of the Devil". [164] Some settlers claimed to have seen Satan himself appear in the flesh at native ceremonies. [166] During the First Great Awakening, the " new light" preachers portrayed their "old light" critics as ministers of Satan. [168] By the time of the Second Great Awakening, Satan's primary role in American evangelicalism was as the opponent of the evangelical movement itself, who spent most of his time trying to hinder the ministries of evangelical preachers, [169] a role he has largely retained among present-day American fundamentalists.

The word does not occur in the Book of Genesis, which mentions only a talking serpent and does not identify the serpent with any supernatural entity. [15] The first occurrence of the word "satan" in the Hebrew Bible in reference to a supernatural figure comes from Numbers 22:22 [16], [7] which describes the Angel of Yahweh confronting Balaam on his donkey: [6] "Balaam's departure aroused the wrath of Elohim, and the Angel of Yahweh stood in the road as a satan against him." [7] In 2 Samuel 24, [17] Yahweh sends the "Angel of Yahweh" to inflict a plague against Israel for three days, killing 70,000 people as punishment for David having taken a census without his approval. [18] 1 Chronicles 21:1 [19] repeats this story, [18] but replaces the "Angel of Yahweh" with an entity referred to as "a satan".
