И тотчасъ вылила ведро свое въ пойло, и побјжала опять къ колодезю почерпнуть, и начерпала всјмъ верблюдамъ его.

Arcana Coelestia #3092
3092. And made him drink. That this signifies initiation, is evident from the signification of “giving to drink” [potare], in that it is almost the same as that of “drinking” [bibere]; but “drinking” here involves more activity on the part of him who drinks. That “drinking” is receiving, and also being conjoined, may be seen above (n. 3069, 3089); thus “making him drink” [facere potare] denotes to give an opportunity to receive, which is the first of initiation.
John 4:7-14
7
A woman of Samaria came to draw water. Jesus said to her, "Give me a drink."
8
For his disciples had gone away into the city to buy food.
9
The Samaritan woman therefore said to him, "How is it that you, being a Jew, ask for a drink from me, a Samaritan woman?" (For Jews have no dealings with Samaritans.)
10
Jesus answered her, "If you knew the gift of God, and who it is who says to you, 'Give me a drink,' you would have asked him, and he would have given you living water."
11
The woman said to him, "Sir, you have nothing to draw with, and the well is deep. From where then have you that living water?
12
Are you greater than our father, Jacob, who gave us the well, and drank of it himself, as did his children, and his livestock?"
13
Jesus answered her, "Everyone who drinks of this water will thirst again,
14
but whoever drinks of the water that I will give him will never thirst again; but the water that I will give him will become in him a well of water springing up to eternal life."
