3136. And behold he stood by the camels. That this signifies presence in general memory-knowledges, is evident from the signification of “standing by,” as being to be present; and from the signification of “camels,” as being general memory-knowledges (see n. 3048, 3071).

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.
