8662. 'And Moses went out to meet his father-in-law' means God's truth being brought to Divine Good. This is clear from the meaning of 'going out to meet' as being brought to (the reason why 'going to meet' means being brought to is that just afterwards it says that he kissed him, which means being joined to, and being joined to is preceded by being brought to); from the representation of 'Moses' as God's truth, dealt with above in 8644; and from the representation of Jethro, to whom 'father-in-law' refers, as Divine Good, also dealt with above, in 8643, 8644.
