And the man that stood among the myrtle trees answered and said, These are they whom the LORD hath sent to walk to and fro through the earth.
And the man that stood among the myrtle trees answered. The "Angel of the Covenant" here gives the reply, instead of the interpreting angel, to imply that all communications through the interpreting angel come from Him as their source.
These are they whom the Lord hath sent to walk to and fro through the earth. If "Satan walks to and fro in the earth" (implying restless activity) on errands of mischief to God's people (Job 1:7), the Lord sends other angels to "walk to and fro" with unceasing activity everywhere, to counterwork Satan's designs, and to defend His people (Psalms 34:7; Psalms 91:11; Psalms 103:20-21; Hebrews 1:14).
