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.

Zechariah 12:10

Studie

       

10 I will pour on the house of David, and on the inhabitants of Jerusalem, the spirit of grace and of supplication; and they will look to me whom they have pierced; and they shall mourn for him, as one mourns for his only son, and will grieve bitterly for him, as one grieves for his firstborn.
