8193. 'Marching before the camp of Israel' means which involved the Church's truths and forms of good. This is clear from the meaning of 'the camp' as truths and forms of good; for 'the camp' means the whole assembly of Israel, and 'the assembly of Israel' means all forms of good and truths in their entirety, 7830, 7843, and for this reason also 'an encampment' means an arrangement as determined by truths and forms of good, 8103(end), 8130, 8131, 8155. As for 'Israel', that the spiritual Church is meant, this has been shown quite often.
