1.7 Cui dixit Dominus, etc. Ibid. Non Dominus, etc., usque ad quod est ad afflictionem bonorum malitiæ suæ æstibus anhelare. Unde venis? GREC.

Dicere ergo unde venis? vias ejus est quasi incognitas reprobare. Circumivi terram. Per gyrum circumitus, laboris anxietas significatur. Laborans terram circumivit, qui in cœlo quietus non stetit: et non transvolat, sed perambulat, quia a spiritualis potentiæ volatu corruit, pressus nimis gravedine suæ malitiæ. De membris quoque ejus dicitur: In circumitu impii ambulant Psal. 11., id est, in exteriorum labore fatigantur. Diabolus non contra Job, sed in Job medio, contra Deum certat. Unde non prius Job a Deo petiit, sed illum Deus in conspectu ejus laudavit.

1:6-7 The members of the heavenly court are heavenly beings; they may be either holy angels or rebellious demons (Gen 6:2, 4). They join God in his deliberations, including at creation (Gen 1:26) and in his rule over creation (Job 1:6; Gen 3:22; 2:1; 1 Kgs 22:19-22; Pss 82:1; 89:5, 7-8; Dan 3:13, 17, 23, 25; 7:9-14).
• The account remains unclear as to whether Satan usually came with other members of the heavenly court to make a report or whether he was intruding as Job’s adversary.
• Where have you come from? The question was God’s sovereign demand for a report from a subordinate (see Gen 3:9).
• Satan was not patrolling to implement God’s judgments (cp. 1 Chr 21:1-14; 2 Kgs 19:35 // Isa 37:36; Ezek 1:5-9) but to oppose God’s purposes (2 Tim 2:26; 1 Pet 5:8).

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”

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”
