וַיֹּ֧אמֶר יְהוָ֛ה אֶל־הַשָּׂטָ֖ן מֵאַ֣יִן תָּבֹ֑א וַיַּ֨עַן הַשָּׂטָ֤ן אֶת־יְהוָה֙ וַיֹּאמַ֔ר מִשּׁ֣וּט בָּאָ֔רֶץ וּמֵֽהִתְהַלֵּ֖ךְ בָּֽהּ׃
Der Herr sprach zum Satan: Wo kommst du her? Da antwortete der Satan dem Herrn und sprach: Ich habe die Erde durchstreift und durchwandert.
Rashi on Job
“Where are you coming from?” Scripture speaks of etiquette, that the greater one speaks first and permits the smaller one to reply.
Malbim on Job
And so when God asks Satan from where he has come, he replies that he has been roving the earth, traveling its length and breadth. For Satan's role as the agent of extinction restricts him to the sublunar world of 'matter'.
Rashi on Job
“From going to and fro on the earth” As is explained above, and it is in the homiletic section of the chapter [that begins], “The partners.”
