This means that all the&nbsp;<em>Merkavot<\/em>&nbsp;[assemblies\/chariots] and armies went down to Egypt with Jacob, and not only the Creator, as is implied in the words, \u201cI will go down to Egypt with you.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>58) Was he alone? It is written, \u201cThe word of the Lord came expressly to Ezekiel the priest, the son of Buzi, in the land of the Chaldeans.\u201d There are three issues here: 1. There is no Shechina abroad, yet Ezekiel\u2019s prophecy was in the land of the Chaldeans. 2. There was none so loyal as Moses, as it is written, \u201cHe is trusted in all My house,\u201d and Ezekiel revealed all the treasures of the King, more than Moses. 3. It seems as though he was not sure of himself, for if he were sure of himself, he would not reveal so much.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>59) However, he did not reveal more than he had to, since Ezekiel was a complete prophet in his mind and revealed all that he revealed with the Creator\u2019s permission, and it was necessary that he would reveal twice what he revealed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Creator never left Israel in exile, before He came to place His Shechina with them. It is even more so with Jacob, that when he went down to exile, the Creator and His Shechina and the upper holy ones and the&nbsp;<em>Merkavot<\/em>, all came down with Jacob, as it is written, \u201cWho came to Egypt with Jacob.\u201d This settles the question that even though He said, \u201cI will go down to Egypt with you,\u201d it does not mean He alone, but rather with His Shechina and armies and&nbsp;<em>Merkavot<\/em>. This is the conduct of the Creator in all the exiles, as Ezekiel revealed in the exile in Babylon.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>57) It is written, \u201cI will go down with you
