55 Aber ihr Bruder und Mutter sprachen: Laß doch die Dirne einen Tag oder zehn bei uns bleiben, danach sollst du ziehen.

Arcana Coelestia #3093

3093. 'And she finished giving him the drink' means the subsequent stage, that is to say, in the process of introduction. This is clear from the consideration that 'she finished' or finishing implies the end of the activity which takes place prior to this and the beginning of that which follows, thus the subsequent stage, and from the meaning of 'giving a drink to' as introducing to, dealt with just above in 3092.
