5408. 'And [Joseph's ten brothers] went down' means an aim and endeavour - an aim and endeavour to acquire truths to itself, and to make these its own, through factual knowledge. This is evident from the meaning of 'going down' - going down to Egypt - as an aim and endeavour.

1 I will extol you, Yahweh, for you have raised me up, and have not made my foes to rejoice over me.

2 Yahweh my God, I cried to you, and you have healed me.

3 Yahweh, you have brought up my soul from Sheol. You have kept me alive, that I should not go down to the pit.
