Arcana Coelestia #3092
3092. 'And gave him a drink' means introduction. This is clear from the meaning of 'to drink' (potare), an expression meaning almost the same as 'to drink' (bibere). 'To drink' (potare) here however entails a more active role on the part of the one who drinks. 'To drink' (bibere) means to receive, and also to be joined to, see 3069, 3089, so that 'giving a drink to' (facere potare) means imparting the ability to receive, which is the initial stage of the introduction.
2 Mose 23:21
21
Darum hüte dich vor seinem Angesicht und gehorche seiner Stimme und erbittere ihn nicht; denn er wird euer Übertreten nicht vergeben, und mein Name ist in ihm.
