3199. And behold there were camels coming. That this signifies directed to the general memory-knowledges in the natural man, is evident from the signification of “camels,” as being general memory-knowledges in the natural man (see n. 3048, 3071); attention was directed to these because truth was expected to come from them, as is evident from what has been frequently said and shown above in this chapter.
