3048、“那仆人从他主人的骆驼里取了十匹骆驼就离开了”表示属世人中的总体神性记忆知识或事实。这从“仆人”、“十”和“骆驼”的含义清楚可知：此处“仆人”是指属世人（参看3019， 3020节）；“十”是指余剩，余剩就是主储存在人里面的良善和真理（参看468， 530， 560， 561， 660， 661， 1050， 1906， 2284节）；当论及主时，“十”或余剩是指主为自己所获得的神性事物（1738， 1906节）；“骆驼”是指总体的记忆知识或事实，由于这些知识或事实是神性，或是主所获得的，所以经上说它们有“十匹”，然后说它们是“从他主人的骆驼里取的骆驼”。他“离开了”表示通过这些知识或事实所实现的引入，这也是本章的主题。
这一章论述的主题是真理与良善在主的神性理性里面结合的过程；首先是引入的过程（3012-3013节），其性质也有一系列的描述。本节则描述了主如何把属世人中那些来自祂自己，也就是为神性的事物，与来自母亲的事物分离。来自祂自己，或为神性的事物就是用来实现引入的事物；它们在此由“从他主人的骆驼里所取的十匹骆驼”来表示。这解释了为何接下来的几节经文大量提到“骆驼”，如他便叫骆驼跪在城外（24:11）；利百加也给骆驼喝（24:14， 19-20）；它们被牵进家里，干草和饲料也给了它们（24:31-32）；而且利百加和她的少女们骑上骆驼（24:61）；以撒看见骆驼来了；利百加看见以撒，就从骆驼上下来（24:63-64）。经上多次提到骆驼是由于内义，它们在内义上表示属世人中的总体记忆知识或事实，要被引入理性里面对良善的情感中的对真理的情感便来自这些知识或事实；这种引入以通常的方式实现，如前所示（3030， 3043节）。因为没有记忆知识或事实和认知，或说世俗和宗教知识，真理方面的理性决不能生出并得到完善，或说真理永远无法在理性中生出或发展。
“骆驼”表示总体的记忆知识，这一点从圣言中提到它们的其它经文明显看出来，如以赛亚书：
论南方牲畜的预言，在艰难困苦之地；有来自那里的少壮狮子和老狮子，并蝮蛇和会飞的火蛇；它们把财物驮在驴驹的脊背上，将宝物驮在骆驼的肉鞍上，往那不利于它们的民那里去；埃及的帮助必徒然无益。（以赛亚书30:6-7）
“南方牲畜”表示那些拥有宗教知识之光，或知识本身，却过着邪恶生活的人；“把财物驮在驴驹的脊背上”表示属于其理性心智的知识或认知，“驴驹”是指理性真理（参看2781节）；“将宝物驮在骆驼的肉鞍上”表示属于其属世心智的知识或认知，“骆驼的肉鞍”是指属世之物；“骆驼”本身表示属世层的总体记忆知识或事实，而“宝物”是指他们视为宝贵的知识或认知；“埃及的帮助必徒然无益”表示记忆知识对他们来说是无用的，“埃及”是指记忆知识（参看1164-1165， 1186， 1462， 2588e节）。显然，“骆驼”在此不是指骆驼，因为经上说“少壮狮子和老狮子将宝物驮在骆驼的肉鞍上”。谁都能看出，这段描述表示教会的某些奥秘。
又：
论海之旷野的预言。主如此说，你去设立守望者，让他报告他所看见的。他看见一辆战车，一对对的马兵，一辆驴车、一辆骆驼车，就仔细听。他就回答说，巴比伦倾倒了，倾倒了！（以赛亚书21:1， 6-7， 9）
“海之旷野”在此表示无用的记忆知识或事实的空洞；“一辆驴车”表示大量具体的记忆知识或事实；“一辆骆驼车”表示存在于属世人中的大量总体记忆知识或事实。“巴比伦”所表示的那些人的空洞推理以这种方式来描述。
又：
你的心就宽畅，因为大海的丰盛必转来归你，列族的财富也必来归你。成群的骆驼并米甸和以法的独峰驼必遮蔽你。来自示巴的众人都必来到，要奉上黄金乳香，又要宣扬耶和华的赞美。（以赛亚书60:5-6）
这论及主及其属世人里面的神性属天和属灵事物。“大海的丰盛”表示属世真理的大量供应；“列族的财富”表示属世良善的大量供应；“成群的骆驼”表示总体记忆知识或事实的大量供应；“黄金乳香”表示良善和真理，也就是“耶和华的赞美”；“来自示巴”是指来自爱与信的属天事物（参看113， 117， 1171节）。示巴女王到耶路撒冷来见所罗门，带着大量财富，又有骆驼驮着香料、许多金子、宝石（列王纪上10:1-2），就代表来到主这里的智慧和聪明，“所罗门”在内义上表示主。“驮着香料、金子、宝石的骆驼”是指属世人中的智慧和聪明的元素。
耶利米书：
论巴比伦王尼布甲尼撒所攻打的阿拉伯和夏琐的诸国：你起来上基达去，使东方之子荒废。他们必夺去他们的帐棚、幔子和一切器皿，并骆驼。他们的骆驼必成为掠物，我必将它们分散四风。（耶利米书49:28-29， 32）
此处“阿拉伯和夏琐的诸国”在反面意义上表示那些拥有属天和属灵事物的知识或认知，却只是利用它们来使自己在自己和世人眼里被视为智慧和聪明的人；“从他们那里被夺去成为掠物，并被分散四风的骆驼”表示那些人的总体记忆知识或事实知识，以及他们的良善和真理的知识或认知，这些知识在肉身生活期间就开始因他们相信相反的东西而从他们那里被夺去，在来世则完全被夺去。
撒迦利亚书：
耶和华用灾殃攻击那与耶路撒冷争战的众民；那临到马匹、骡子、骆驼、驴和一切牲畜的灾殃也必是这样。（撒迦利亚书14:12， 15）
此处“马匹、骡子、骆驼、驴的灾殃”表示剥夺按这个次序从理性事物或概念到属世事物或形像一个接一个到来的理解能力（关于“马”的含义，参看2761， 2762节；关于“骡子”的含义，参看2781节；关于“驴”的含义，参看2781节）。“骆驼”表示属世人中的总体记忆知识或事实。埃及境内临到田间牲畜、马、驴、骆驼、牛群和羊群的瘟疫（出埃及记9:2-3）所表相同。
从这些经文明显可知，就圣言的内义而言，“骆驼”表示属世人的总体记忆知识或事实。总体记忆知识或事实是指那些包含许多具体知识在里面的知识，这些具体知识反过来又包含许多细节；它们合在一起形成属世人的理解力部分。
Potts(1905-1910) 3048
3048. The servant took ten camels, of the camels of his lord, and departed. That this signifies general memory-knowledges in the natural man, is evident from the signification here of "servant," as being the natural man (see above, n. 3019, 3020) and from the signification of "ten," as being remains (that these are goods and truths with man stored up by the Lord, may be seen above, n. 468, 530, 560, 561, 660, 661, 1050, 1906, 2284; and that "ten," or remains, when predicated of the Lord, are the Divine things which the Lord acquired for Himself, n. 1738, 1906); and also from the signification of "camels," as being general memory-knowledges; and because these were Divine, or acquired by the Lord, it is said that they were "ten," and then it is said that they were "camels, of the camels of his lord." That he "departed," signifies the initiation thereby which is treated of in this chapter. [2] The subject here is the process of the conjunction of truth with good in the Lord's Divine rational; first, the process of initiation (n. 3012-3013), the nature of which is described in a series; here, that the Lord separated in the natural man the things which were from Himself, that is, which were Divine, from those which were of the maternal. The things which were from Himself, or which were Divine, are the things by which the initiation was effected; and they are here the "ten camels, of the camels of his lord." And hence it is that in the following verses much mention is made of "camels" as that he made the camels fall on their knees without the city (verse 11); that Rebekah also gave drink to the camels (verses 14, 19-20); that they were brought into the house, and that straw and provender were given them (verses 31-32); and further, that Rebekah and her girls rode upon the camels (verse 61); and that Isaac saw the camels coming; and when Rebekah saw Isaac, that she alighted off her camel (verses 63-64). Camels are mentioned so often because of the internal sense, in which they signify the general memory-knowledges in the natural man, from which comes the affection of truth which is to be initiated into the affection of good in the rational, and this in the usual way, as shown above; for the rational as to truth cannot possibly be born and perfected without memory-knowledges and knowledges. [3] That "camels" signify general memory-knowledges is evident from other passages in the Word where they are mentioned, as in Isaiah:
The prophecy of the beasts of the south: In the land of straitness and distress; from whence come the young lion and the old lion, the viper and the flying fire serpent; they carry their riches upon the shoulder of young asses, and their treasures upon the hump of camels, to a people that shall not profit; for Egypt shall help in vain and to no purpose (Isa. 30:6-7). The "beasts of the south" denote those who are in the light of knowledges, or in knowledges, but in a life of evil; "carrying their riches upon the shoulder of young asses" denotes the knowledges pertaining to their rational (that a "young ass" is rational truth may be seen above, n. 2781); "their treasures upon the hump of camels," denotes the knowledges pertaining to their natural; the camels' "hump" is what is natural; the "camels" themselves signify the general memory-knowledges which are there; the "treasures" are the knowledges which they hold as precious; that "Egypt shall help in vain and to no purpose" denotes that memory-knowledges are of no use to them; that "Egypt" is memory-knowledge may be seen above (n. 1164-1165, 1186, 1462, 2588 at the end). That "camels" here are not camels is plain; for it is said "the young lion and the old lion carry their treasures upon the hump of camels"; and anyone can see that some arcanum of the church is hereby signified. [4] Again:
The prophecy of the wilderness of the sea: Thus hath the Lord said, Go, set a watchman; let him declare what he seeth: and he saw a chariot, a pair of horsemen, a chariot of an ass, a chariot of a camel, and he hearkened diligently. And he answered and said, Babel is fallen, is fallen (Isa. 21:1, 6-7, 9). The "wilderness of the sea" here denotes the emptiness of memory-knowledges that are not for use; a "chariot of an ass," a collection of particular memory-knowledges; a "chariot of a camel," a collection of general memory-knowledges in the natural man. It is the empty reasonings with those signified by "Babel" which are thus described. [5] Again:
Thy heart shall be enlarged because the multitude of the sea shall be converted unto thee, the wealth of the nations shall come unto thee. The abundance of camels shall cover thee, the dromedaries of Midian and Ephah; all they from Sheba shall come; they shall bring gold and incense, and they shall proclaim the praises of Jehovah (Isa. 60:5-6). This is concerning the Lord, and concerning the Divine celestial and spiritual things in His natural: the "multitude of the sea" denotes the immense supply of natural truth; the "wealth of the nations," the immense supply of natural good; the "abundance of camels," the abundant supply of general memory-knowledges; "gold and frankincense," goods and truths, which are the "praises of Jehovah;" "from Sheba" is from the celestial things of love and faith (see n. 113, 117, 1171). That:
The queen of Sheba came to Solomon to Jerusalem with exceeding great riches, with camels that bare spices, and very much gold, and precious stones (1 Kings 10:1-2) represented the wisdom and intelligence which came to the Lord, who in the internal sense here is "Solomon." The "camels bearing spices, gold, and precious stones" are the things of wisdom and intelligence in the natural man. [6] In Jeremiah:
To Arabia, and to the kingdoms of Hazor, which Nebuchadnezzar king of Babel smote: Arise ye, go up to Arabia, and lay waste the sons of the East. Their tents shall they take, and they shall carry away for themselves their curtains, and all their vessels, and their camels. And their camels shall be a booty, and I will scatter them to every wind (Jer. 49:28-29, 32). Here "Arabia and the kingdoms of Hazor," in the opposite sense, denote those who are in knowledges of celestial and spiritual things, but for the end of no other use than that they may be esteemed wise and intelligent by themselves and the world; the "camels which should be taken away from them, and should be for a booty, and should be scattered to every wind," are in general the memory-knowledges and the knowledges of good and truth which are also taken away from them in the life of the body by their believing contrary things, and in the other life wholly. [7] In Zechariah:
And this shall be the plague wherewith Jehovah will smite all the peoples that shall fight against Jerusalem; thus shall be the plague of the horse, of the mule, of the camel, and of the ass, and of every beast (Zech. 14:12, 15). Here the "plague of the horse, of the mule, of the camel, and of the ass," denotes the privation of intellectual things, which thus succeed in order from rational things to natural things (what is meant by the "horse," may be seen above, n. 2761, 2762; what by the "mule" n. 2781; and what by the "ass," n. 2781); "camels" denote the general memory-knowledges in the natural man. The like was signified by the murrain in Egypt, which was "Upon the cattle in the field, upon the horses, upon the asses, upon the camels, upon herd and upon flock" (Exod. 9:2-3). [8] From these passages it is evident that by "camels" in the internal sense of the Word are signified the general memory-knowledges of the natural man. General memory-knowledges are those which include in themselves many particulars, and these singulars; and they form in general the natural man as to the intellectual part of it.
Elliott(1983-1999) 3048
3048. 'The servant took ten camels from his master's camels, and went' means [Divine] general facts in the natural man. This is clear from the meaning of 'the servant' here as the natural man, dealt with above in 3019, 3020; from the meaning of 'ten' as remnants, which are the goods and truths stored away in a person by the Lord, see 468, 530, 560, 561, 660, 661, 1050, 1906, 2284 (though when 'ten' or remnants is used in reference to the Lord, the Divine things that the Lord acquired to Himself are meant, 1738, 1906); and from the meaning of 'camels' as general facts which, being Divine or things acquired by the Lord, are said to be 'ten' in number, and also to be 'camels from his master's camels'. The words 'he went' mean the introduction which was effected by means of those facts, which is dealt with in this chapter. The whole subject is the process by which truth was joined to good in the Lord's Divine Rational, the first thing to be described in this line of thought being the nature of the process of introduction, referred to in 3012, 3013. The present verse describes how the Lord separated those things in the natural man that came from Himself, that is, that were Divine, from those that came from the mother. Those that came from Himself, or were Divine, are the things through which the introduction was effected, and they are meant here by 'the ten camels from his master's camels'. This explains why much reference is made in subsequent verses to camels, such as that he made the camels kneel down outside the city, verse 11; that Rebekah also gave the camels a drink, verses 14, 19, 20; that they were led into the house, and given straw and fodder, verses 31, 32; and further on, that Rebekah and her maids rode on the camels, verse 61; and that Isaac saw the camels coming, and that when Rebekah saw Isaac she dropped down from the camel, verses 63, 64. The reason they are mentioned so many times lies in the internal sense in which they mean the general facts that are present in the natural man and from which comes the affection for truth that had to be introduced to the affection for good within the rational, this being effected in the ordinary way, as shown above. For the rational as regards truth cannot possibly be born and perfected without facts and cognitions.
[2] That 'camels' means general facts is clear from other places in the Word where they are mentioned, as in Isaiah,
A prophecy of the beasts of the south. In the land of distress and anguish are the young lion and the old lion from them, the viper and the flying fiery-serpent. They carry their wealth on the shoulders of young asses, and their treasures on the backs of camels, to a people that do not profit them. And Egypt's help will be in vain and to no advantage. Isa 30:6, 7.
'The beasts of the south' stands for those who possess cognitions or the light of cognitions but lead evil lives. 'Carrying their wealth on the shoulders of young asses' stands for the cognitions which belong to their rational, 'a young ass' being rational truth, see 2781. 'Their treasures on the backs of camels' stands for the cognitions which belong to their natural, 'the backs of camels' being the natural, 'camels' themselves the general facts there, 'treasures' the cognitions which they consider to be precious. The words 'Egypt's help will be in vain and to no advantage' mean that to them knowledge is of no use, 'Egypt' being knowledge, see 1164, 1165, 1186, 1462, 2588 (end). It is evident that camels are not meant by 'camels' here because it is said that the young lion and the old lion carry their treasures on the backs of camels. Anyone may see that some arcanum of the Church is meant by this description.
[3] In the same prophet,
The prophecy of the wilderness of the sea. Thus said the Lord, Go, set a watchman to point out what he sees. And he saw a chariot, a pair of horsemen, a chariot of asses, a chariot of camels, and he listened diligently. He answered and said, Fallen, fallen has Babel. Isa 21:1, 6, 7, 9.
'The wilderness of the sea' stands for the hollowness of knowledge that serves no use. 'A chariot of asses' stands for a mass of specific facts, 'a chariot of camels' for a mass of general facts which are present in the natural man. It is the hollow reasonings found with people meant by Babel which are described in this fashion.
[4] In the same prophet,
Your heart will enlarge itself because the abundance of the sea will be turned to you, the wealth of the nations will come to you. A multitude of camels will cover you, dromedaries of Midian and Ephah, all those from Sheba will come. They will bring gold and frankincense, and will spread abroad the praises of Jehovah. Isa 60:5, 6.
This refers to the Lord, and to the Divine celestial and spiritual things within His natural. 'The abundance of the sea' stands for a vast quantity of natural truth, 'the wealth of the nations' for a vast quantity of natural good. 'A multitude of camels' stands for general facts in abundance, 'gold and frankincense' for goods and truths which are 'the praises of Jehovah'. 'From Sheba' is from the celestial things of love and faith, see 113, 117, 1171. The queen of Sheba's coming to Solomon in Jerusalem with vast amounts of wealth, with camels carrying spices, and very much gold, and precious stones, 1 Kings 10:1, 2, represented the wisdom and intelligence which came to the Lord, who in the internal sense of these verses is meant by Solomon. 'Camels carrying spices, gold, and precious stores' means matters of wisdom and intelligence in the natural man.
[5] In Jeremiah,
To Arabia and to the kingdoms of Hazor which Nebuchadnezzar king of Babel smote: Arise and go up to Arabia, and lay waste the sons of the east. They will take their tents, their curtains, and all their vessels, and they will bear their camels away from them. Their camels will become booty, and the multitude of their flocks booty, and I will scatter them to every wind. Jer. 49:28, 29, 32.
Here 'Arabia' and 'the kingdoms of Hazor', used in the contrary sense, stand for people who possess cognitions of celestial and spiritual things but whose only use for them is to be considered wise and intelligent in their own eyes and in those of the world. 'The camels that will be borne away from them to become booty and that will be scattered to every wind' means in general the factual knowledge of those people and their cognitions of good and truth, which will begin to be removed from these people in this life through their belief in things of a contrary nature, and in the next life removed altogether.
[6] In Zechariah,
The plague with which Jehovah will smite all the peoples that wage war against Jerusalem: It will be a plague of the horse, the mule, the camel, and the ass, and every beast. Zech. 14:12, 15.
'A plague of the horse, the mule, the camel, the ass' stands for the removal of the powers of the understanding which follow one another in the same consecutive order, from rational concepts to natural images. What a horse is, see 2761, 2762; a mule, 2781; an ass, 2781. 'Camels' stands for general facts in the natural man. The pestilence in Egypt 'on the cattle in the field, on the horses, on the asses, on the camels, on the herd, and on the flock', Exod. 9:2, 3, had a similar meaning.
From all these places it becomes clear that 'camels' in the internal sense of the Word means general facts which belong to the natural man. General facts are those which include within themselves many particular ones, while these include within themselves those that are specific. All these constitute in general the understanding part of the natural man.
