3106. 'To go on her hands' means the power of the affection for truth. This is clear from the meaning of 'the hand' as power, dealt with in 878, 3091, and from the representation of 'Rebekah', to whom 'her' refers here, as the affection for truth, dealt with in 2865, 3077.

3092. 'And gave him a drink' means introduction. This is clear from the meaning of 'to drink' (potare), an expression meaning almost the same as 'to drink' (bibere). 'To drink' (potare) here however entails a more active role on the part of the one who drinks. 'To drink' (bibere) means to receive, and also to be joined to, see 3069, 3089, so that 'giving a drink to' (facere potare) means imparting the ability to receive, which is the initial stage of the introduction.
