5436. 'All we, the sons of one man are we' means that those truths all have the same origin. This is clear from the meaning of 'the sons', who in this case are the sons of Jacob, as truths in general, often dealt with already. As regards 'of one man' meaning that they all have the same origin, this is evident without explanation.
