4349. Verse 4 And Esau ran to meet him, and embraced him, and fell on his neck, and kissed him; and they wept.

'Esau ran to meet him' means the influx of Divine Natural Good. 'And embraced him' means a first joining together effected by love. 'And fell on his neck' means a second joining together involving everything included within that universal embodiment of truth. 'And kissed him' mean an interior joining together brought about by love. 'And they wept' means the outward expression.

'The neck' signifies influx and the communication of interior and exterior levels and their conjunction. The inmost or third heaven has reference to the head and the middle or second heaven has reference to the body. Therefore, because it is in the middle, 'the neck' signifies influx, and the communication of celestial things with spiritual things.
