8. "The Adversary also came among them." The word "also" adds THE CHILDREN OF ELOHIM, because they all came to accuse Yisrael, and THE ADVERSARY also joined them because he was the greatest slanderer of them all. As soon as the Holy One, blessed be He, saw that they all came to accuse, immediately, "And Hashem said to the Adversary, 'From where do you come?'" (Iyov 1:7), SINCE HE WAS THE GREATEST OF THEM ALL. HE ASKS, Did not the Holy One, blessed be He, know where he came from SO THAT HE HAD TO ASK HIM? HE ANSWERS, Rather only to allow the matter to the wishes of the Satan, MEANING THAT WITH THESE WORDS HE GAVE HIM AN OPENING TO ACCUSE AS HE WISHES.
8. וַיָּבֹא גַּם הַשָּׂטָן בְּתוֹכָם, גַּם, לְאַסְגָּאָה עָלַיְיהוּ, דְּכֻלְּהוּ אַתְיָין לְמֶהֱוֵי קַטֵיגוֹרִין עָלַיְיהוּ דְּיִשְׂרָאֵל, וְדָא אִתּוֹסָף עָלַיְיהוּ, בְּגִין דְּאִיהוּ דַּילְטוֹרָא רַבְרְבָא מִכֻּלְּהוּ, קַטֵיגוֹרָא מִכֻּלְּהוּ, כֵּיוָן דְּחָמָא קוּדְשָׁא בְּרִיךְ הוּא, דְּכֻלְּהוּ אַתְיָין לְקַטְרְגָא. מִיָּד וַיֹּאמֶר יְיָ' אֶל הַשָּׂטָן מֵאַיִן תָּבֹא. וְכִי לֹא הֲוָה יָדַע קוּדְשָׁא בְּרִיךְ הוּא, מֵאָן הֲוָה אָתֵי. אֶלָּא לְאַיְיתָאָה עוֹבָדָא לִרְעוּתֵיהּ.
