The Well as Zion and the Joy of the Water Drawing

Another interpretation: "And he looked, and behold a well in the field" this is Zion. "And behold, three flocks of sheep lying beside it" these are the three pilgrimage festivals. "For out of that well they watered the flocks" for from there they drew the Holy Spirit. "And the stone on the mouth of the well was great" this is the Rejoicing of the Place of Water-Drawing, for from there they drew the Holy Spirit. "And all the flocks were gathered there" they came from Lebo-Hamath to the Brook of Egypt. "And they rolled the stone from the mouth of the well and watered the sheep" for from there they drew the Holy Spirit. "And they put the stone back on the mouth of the well in its place" for it remained until the coming festival.
