Ανανηψας δε ο Νωε απο του οινου αυτου, εμαθεν οσα εκαμεν εις αυτον ο υιος αυτου ο νεωτερος.

Και θελω καταστησει ευλογιαν αυτα και τα περιξ του ορους μου, και θελω καταβιβαζει την βροχην εν τω καιρω αυτης· βροχη ευλογιας θελει εισθαι.
Arcana Coelestia # 3772
3772. 'And water the flock' means that the doctrine was drawn from it. This is clear from the meaning of 'watering', or giving a drink, as giving instruction, dealt with in 3069, 3768, and from the meaning of 'the flock' as people who are governed by the goods and truths of faith, dealt with in 343, 3767. Thus 'watering it' means giving instruction from the Word, and therefore from doctrine.
