8757. 'And encamped in the wilderness' means the arrangement within that state of good. This is clear from the meaning of 'encamping' as setting out in order the truth and good which have to do with life, dealt with in 8103 (end), thus also an arrangement; and from the meaning of 'the wilderness' as a state of good in which the truths of faith have not as yet been implanted, dealt with above in 8753.
