The Bible

 

Ezekiel 37:16

Study

       

16 And thou son of man, take thee a stick: and write upon it: Of Juda, and of the children of Israel his associates: and take another stick and write upon it: For Joseph the stick of Ephraim, and for all the house of Israel, and of his associates.

Commentary

 

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.
