3143. 'And there is a place for the camels' means a state for all the things which were to serve Him. This is clear from the meaning of 'a place' as a state, dealt with in 1273-1277, 1376-1381, 2625, and from the meaning of 'the camels' as general facts, dealt with in 3048, 3071, which play a subservient role, see 1486, 3019, 3020. For everything that belongs to the natural man has no other use apart from that of serving the spiritual man. This also is why male servants, female servants, camels, and asses in the internal sense mean in particular things that belong to the natural man.

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.
