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.

Foot

  

The foot, as in Deuteronomy 33:3, signifies an inferior principle. To set the right foot on the sea and the left on the earth, as in Revelation 10:2, signifies that the Lord has the universal church under His intuition and dominion.
