$ContextPath tells you where the evaluator will look for symbols. If you evaluate a symbol and that symbol isn't found in $ContextPath, then it will be "created" and "assigned" to the $Context. Begin changes the $Context but not the $ContextPath. BeginPackage changes both. End reset them back to what they were, and EndPackage resets them but also adds the just created context to $ContextPath.

You provided new DownValues for an existing symbol, i.e. a symbol that the evaluation engine already knows about and will find to exist in MyPackage context when it looks it up. | |
