Arcana Coelestia # 3092
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.
Turn aside judgment
'To turn aside judgment' denotes to pervert and to destroy.
