Certainly, the angels aren’t independent self-existing beings who do what they will. They are dependent on God for their existence.. they are dependent on His Spirit to live and move and do as He commands them.I think the Fathers Spirit was there as in the Spirit of God or Holy Spirit. That the angel was standing in the presence of God. Hence the ground was Holy ground.
God Himself does not have to go where they go, but His Spirit does.
Joshua worship the angel of the Lord as he would if the Father himself was standing in front of him.
