οι δε ειπαν καλεσωμεν την παιδα και ερωτησωμεν το στομα αυτης
Arcana Coelestia #3199
3199. 'And behold, the camels were coming' means towards general facts in the natural man. This is clear from the meaning of 'camels' as general facts in the natural man, dealt with in 3048, 3071. It was a directing of the attention towards facts because truth was expected from them, as is clear from what has often been stated and shown above in this chapter.
Isaiah 60:5-6
5
Then you shall see and be radiant, and your heart shall thrill and be enlarged; because the abundance of the sea shall be turned to you, the wealth of the nations shall come to you.
6
The multitude of camels shall cover you, the dromedaries of Midian and Ephah; all they from Sheba shall come; they shall bring gold and frankincense, and shall proclaim the praises of Yahweh.
