7128. 'Go yourselves, get yourselves straw from where you will find it' means that they should acquire that knowledge from wherever else they could. This is clear from the meaning of 'getting from where they would find' as acquiring from wherever else they could; and from the meaning of 'straw' as factual knowledge, the basest and most general of all, dealt with in 7112 and immediately above in 7127.
