46 Deh, dammi da bere! Ed ella s’è affrettata a calare la brocca dalla spalla, e m’ha risposto: Bevi! e darò da bere anche ai tuoi cammelli. Così ho bevuto io ed ella ha abbeverato anche i cammelli.

4819. 'And his name was Shua' means the essential nature of this. This is clear from the meaning of 'name' as the essential nature, dealt with above in 4817, in this case the essential nature of evil begotten by falsity springing from evil, also dealt with above, in 4818.
