Arcana Coelestia (Potts) n. 10419

10419. Go, get thee down. That this signifies to look at their external, is evident from the signification of "going down from Mount Sinai," as being to look at, survey, and examine; for by "Mount Sinai" is signified heaven from which is Divine truth (see n. 9420), and therefore in the spiritual sense "to go down" does not mean to go down with the body, but with the mind; thus it denotes to look at and survey.
