8
The cedars in the garden of God could not hide him; the cypresses were not like his boughs, and the plane-trees were not as his branches: no tree in the garden of God was like unto him in his beauty.
Ezekiel 31:8
To go up and to go down
Going up refers to going towards spiritual and celestial things, for these are inward things, and are also believed to be higher. Going down refers to going towards natural and earthly things, for these are outward things, and also appear lower.
