3191. And followed the man. That this signifies under the auspices of Divine truth natural, is evident from the signification of “going after” or “following,” as being here in the internal sense under the guidance or auspices; and from the signification of the “man,” as being truth (see n. 3134); here, Divine truth natural (as above, n. 3184).
