33 Men mannen som var herre i landet svarade oss: 'Därav skall jag veta att I ären redliga män: lämnen kvar hos mig en av eder, I bröder; tagen så vad I haven köpt till hjälp mot hungersnöden hemma hos eder, och faren eder väg.

5546. 'And he said, My son shall not go down with you' means that it will not move down towards inferior things. This is clear from the meaning of 'going down' as an expression used of movement towards inferior things, dealt with in 5406, in this case towards truths existing as factual knowledge in the exterior natural, 5492, 5495, 5497, 5500. Which are represented by 'the sons of Jacob'.
