That this signifies that general memory-knowledges were enlightened thereby, is evident from the signification of “drawing,” as being to instruct, and also to enlighten (see n. 3058, 3071); and from the signification of “camels,” as being general memory-knowledges (n. 3048).

3071. And I will give thy camels drink also. That this signifies the enlightenment of all memory-knowledges in the natural man therefrom, is evident from the signification of “camels,” as being general memory-knowledges, thus these knowledges in general, or all (see above, n. 3048); and from the signification of “giving to drink,” as being to enlighten. That “drawing water” denotes to instruct, was shown above (n. 3058); thus to “give to drink” denotes to enlighten; for enlightenment comes from instruction.
