א וַיְהִי הַיּוֹם וַיָּבֹאוּ בְּנֵי הָאֱלֹהִים לְהִתְיַצֵּב עַל־ה' וַיָּבוֹא גַם־הַשָּׂטָן בְּתֹכָם לְהִתְיַצֵּב עַל־ה'
It was one day, after Job had already lost his possessions and most of his family, and the children of the great, the angels, came to stand before the Lord. They regularly gathered to stand before Him, like in a military roll call. And the accuser too came to stand before the Lord.
ב וַיֹּאמֶר ה' אֶל־הַשָּׂטָן אֵי מִזֶּה תָּבֹא וַיַּעַן הַשָּׂטָן אֶת־ה' וַיֹּאמַר מִשֻּׁט בָּאָרֶץ וּמֵהִתְהַלֵּךְ בָּהּ
The Lord said to the accuser: From where have you come? The accuser answered the Lord and said: From wandering the earth, and from walking around it.
