3097. 'And drew for all his camels' means by which general facts were enlightened. This is clear from the meaning of 'drawing' as giving instruction and also as enlightening, dealt with in 3058, 3071, and from the meaning of 'camels' as general facts, dealt with in 3048.

Look

  

'Look not back behind thee,' as in Genesis 19:17, means that Lot, who represents the good of charity, should not look to matters of doctrine. 'To look up,' is to look to celestial things. In Genesis 18:22, looking signifies thinking because seeing denotes understanding.
