Depends on what you mean by 'devil'. Do you mean the guy in a red suit with
horns and a pointy tail, carrying a trident? Yeah, that probably is non-
Jewish. Non-Christian, too, although it's a bit of mythology made up *by*
Christians (I think).
But the serious concept of the fallen archangel, cast out of Heaven for
leading a revolt against the Father Almighty, has a fairly prominent role in
the bible. I think the fall is recorded in Genesis, and the Devil has a big
job in Job.
