3136. 'And behold, he was standing with the camels' means presence in general facts. This is clear from the meaning of 'standing with' as being present, and from the meaning of 'the camels' as general facts, dealt with in 3048, 3071.

5600. 'Have you a brother?' means regarding interior truth. This is clear from the representation of 'Benjamin' as the spiritual of the celestial, or what amounts to the same, the truth of good, which is interior truth. For 'Benjamin' is truth that has good within it, or the spiritual of the celestial, see 3969, 4592. This interior truth is what acts as the intermediary between truth from the Divine and truth within the natural.
