3137. 'At the spring' means the enlightenment of them from Divine truth. This is clear from the meaning of 'a spring' as truth, dealt with in 2702, 3096, here Divine truth, as above in 3131. Because the Word is Divine truth it is therefore called 'a spring'. That 'standing at the spring' here embodies in the internal sense the enlightenment of things in the natural man follows from the train of thought; for where Divine truth is, enlightenment is there.

3071. 'And also I will give your camels a drink' means consequent enlightenment of all facts within the natural man. This is clear from the meaning of 'camels' as general facts, and so facts in general or in their entirety, dealt with above in 3048, and from the meaning of 'giving a drink' as enlightening. For 'drawing water' means giving instruction, as shown above in 3058, and so 'giving a drink' is enlightening, for enlightenment comes from instruction.
