Ibn Ezra

1089–1167 Jewish

Has gone up - on the chest which is concealed, that he should go up and be seen. And some say the meaning: that God will set the peoples below us, and at that time we shall shout over them with trumpets and the sound of the shofar, God will be gone up from us [יעלה ממנו], and so He is called Elyon [עליון].
