Meet
To "meet" someone can be positive or negative: it can be a welcoming and greeting, or it can be "meeting" them in battle. Both meanings are reflected in the internal sense of the Bible. In positive meetings between people, "meeting" represents a joining and communication between the spiritual states the people represent. In negative ones, however -- and especially in cases where the Lord is pictured as meeting someone -- it stands for opposition between the states. It's worth noting here that according to the Writings the Lord never actually opposes anyone. The Lord is love itself, and He is continually loving everyone and willing them to be good and move toward heaven. But when people reject His love and move away, it creates the appearance that He is opposing them, despite the fact that His attitude and stance toward all of us never changes.
In Genesis 14:17, this signifies to submit oneself. (Arcana Coelestia 1721)
In Genesis 19:1, this signifies acknowledgment, and also the effect that love for others has. (Arcana Coelestia 2326)
In Genesis 24:65, this signifies for the purpose of union. (Arcana Coelestia 3205)
In Genesis 29:13, this signifies agreement which unites. (Arcana Coelestia 3806)
In Genesis 32:6, this signifies that the good of love flowing into truth. (Arcana Coelestia 4247)
In Exodus 4:14, this signifies reception or to come prepared to receive divine truth. (Arcana Coelestia 7000)

1
Now Yahweh said to Abram, "Get out of your country, and from your relatives, and from your father's house, to the land that I will show you.
2
I will make of you a great nation. I will bless you and make your name great. You will be a blessing.
3
I will bless those who bless you, and I will curse him who curses you. All of the families of the earth will be blessed in you."

So Abram went, as Yahweh had spoken to him. Lot went with him. Abram was seventy-five years old when he departed out of Haran.
