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.
