3802. Verses 12-13. And Jacob told Rachel that he was her father’s brother, and that he was Rebekah’s son; and she ran and told her father. And it came to pass when Laban heard the tidings of Jacob, his sister’s son, that he ran to meet him, and embraced him, and kissed him, and brought him to his house; and he told Laban all these words. “And Jacob told Rachel that he was her father’s brother,” signifies the affinity of the good which is “Jacob” and of the good which is “Laban;” “and that he was Rebekah’s son,” signifies the conjunction of these affinities; “and she ran and told her father,” signifies acknowledgment by means of interior truths; “and it came to pass when Laban heard the tidings of Jacob his sister’s son,” signifies the acknowledgment of the related good; “that he ran to meet him,” signifies agreement; “and embraced him,” signifies affection; “and kissed him,” signifies initiation; “and brought him to his house,” signifies to conjunction; “and he told Laban all these words,” signifies from truths.
