Let us descend...

The question was raised in Torah study of other occurances in the Bible when God "descends".
Here is a partial listing:

Exodus 3:8 "I have come down to rescue them from the Egyptians and to bring them out of that land to a good and spacious land, a land flowing with milk and honey..."
Exodus 19:11 "Let them be ready for the third day; for on the third day the Lord will come down, in the sight of all the people, on Mount Sinai."
Numbers 11:17 "I will come down and speak with you there..."
II Samuel 22:10 "He bent the sky and came down, thick cloud beneath His feet."
Isaiah 31:4 "...So the Lord of Hosts will descend to make war agains the mount and the hill of Zion."
