Commentary on Job 1:7
God's question 'Whence comest thou?' is not seeking information but establishing Satan's limited authority. The adversary can only 'go to and fro' and 'walk up and down' - restless activity without ultimate power. Satan's roaming earth seeking whom he may devour (1 Peter 5:8) is depicted here as subject to divine interrogation.
