and,answered the,satan DOM YHWH and,said

As the General Introduction to Job discusses, this phrase expresses a single idea by using two words connected with and. The word answered tells for what purpose the adversary said this. If it would be more natural in your language, here and in the rest of the book you could express this meaning with an equivalent phrase that does not use “and.” Alternate translation: “The adversary responded to Yahweh”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / parallelism

מִ⁠שּׁ֣וּט בָּ⁠אָ֔רֶץ וּ⁠מֵֽ⁠הִתְהַלֵּ֖ךְ בָּֽ⁠הּ

from,roaming on_the=earth and,from,walking_around in/on/at/with,it

These two phrases mean similar things. The adversary is using repetition to emphasize the idea that the phrases express. If it would be helpful to your readers, you could combine them and convey the emphasis in another way. Alternate translation: “From wandering all over the earth”
