3 καὶ συνήγοντο ἐκεῖ πάντα τὰ ποίμνια καὶ ἀπεκύλιον τὸν λίθον ἀπὸ τοῦ στόματος τοῦ φρέατος καὶ ἐπότιζον τὰ πρόβατα καὶ ἀπεκαθίστων τὸν λίθον ἐπὶ τὸ στόμα τοῦ φρέατος εἰς τὸν τόπον αὐτοῦ

3800. 'And Jacob kissed Rachel' means love directed towards interior truths. This is clear from the meaning of 'kissing' as a uniting and joining together resulting from affection, dealt with in 3573, 3574, and therefore as love since love regarded in itself is a uniting and joining together resulting from affection; and from the representation of 'Rachel' as the affection for interior truth, dealt with in 3793. From this it is evident that 'Jacob kissed Rachel' means love directed towards interior truths.
