3783. 'Is coming with the flock' means interior matters of doctrine. This is clear from the meaning of 'the flock' as the Church and also matters of doctrine, dealt with in 3767, 3768, 3772, here interior matters of doctrine since the words 'is coming with the flock' refer to Rachel.

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.
