5312. And upon thy mouth shall all my people kiss. That this signifies that everything therein shall be in obedience to him, is evident from the signification of “kissing upon the mouth,” as being to acknowledge and do what he bids, thus to obey; and from the signification of “all my people,” as being everything in the natural. (By “people” are signified truths, n. 1259, 1260, 3581, 4619, thus the knowledges of good and truth in the natural, and also memory-knowledges, for these are the truths of the natural, n. 5276)
