Kehilah In Ephesus 4:7-11 Orthodox Jewish Bible (OJB)

7. But to each of us was given the Chen v'Chesed Hashem according to the measure of the Matnat HaMoshiach.

8. Therefore it says, ALITA LAMMAROM SHAVITA SHEVI LAKACHTA MATANOT ("You ascended to the height, you led captive, you received gifts" TEHILLIM 68:19 [18]), He has led captive a host of captives, He had brought matanot (gifts) to Bnei Adam.

9. Now if He "ASCENDED" what can it mean except that also He descended into the lower parts of ha'aretz?

10. The one who descended is Himself also the one having ascended far above all the Shomayim, that He might fill all things. [MISHLE 30:1-4]

11. And He gave some to be shlichim, and some nevi'im, and some gifted to be used in Kiruv efforts for Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach, and some supervising mashgichim ruchaniyim (spiritual overseers) who are ro'im and morim in the Kehillah,
