Postanak 29:10

Study

       

10 Kako Jakov ugleda Rahelu, kćer Labana, brata svoje majke, sa stadom svoga ujaka Labana, Jakov se primače i odvali kamen s otvora studenca te napoji stado svoga ujaka Labana.

Arcana Coelestia #3808

Studere hoc loco

3808. 'And kissed him' means the initial stage. This is clear from the meaning of 'kissing' as a joining together resulting from affection, dealt with in 3573, 3574, 3800. In this case it is the initial stage to that joining together, for an initial stage comes before the joining together.
