Charles Ellicott Commentary Zechariah 2:3

"And, behold, the angel that talked with me went forth, and another angel went out to meet him," — Zechariah 2:3 (ASV)

Went forth.—Literally, goes forth, from the prophet’s side, in the direction of the man who went to measure. Septuagint, εἱστήκει.

Went out.—Literally, comes forth: that is, from the invisible—i.e., appears, reveals himself. The same word in Hebrew means to come and to go forth, according to circumstances. (Compare to Zechariah 5:5-6.)
