Factually incorrect.
Wikipedia (with supporting scholarly references) says this:
The original Hebrew term satan is a
generic noun meaning "accuser" or "adversary",[4][5] which is used throughout the Hebrew Bible to refer to ordinary human adversaries,[6][5] as well as a specific supernatural entity.[6][5]
