You are adding things to Tanakh that aren't there.
Satan is mentioned in Genesis, yet it does not say Satan was in the garden with Chav'vah, or that he tricked Chav'vah.
If it was Satan then why didn't they use the name Satan?
Instead it says a serpent, and the serpent becomes FOREVER a serpent on the ground tasting the air.
And by the way - it says the serpent is from among the beasts of the field that God created. (A beast created on Earth)
Gen 1:24 And God said, Let the earth bring forth the living creature after his kind, cattle, and creeping thing, and beast of the earth after his kind: and it was so.
Gen 1:25 And God made the beast of the earth after his kind, and cattle after their kind, and every thing that creepeth upon the earth after his kind: and God saw that it was good.
Obviously the serpent is NOT Satan.
That jump was made by later people.
