[tree →](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/dictionaries/judaism/K/kiss/#m4) ### sense in the lessons In the Tanakh and Jewish tradition: A kiss in the Tanakh is a sign of greeting and family love, as when Jacob kisses Rachel and Isaac blesses Jacob. The psalms use it as a figure of speech, when righteousness and peace "kiss", and Job speaks of a kiss of the hand as a sign of worship. Interpretation: The commentators note that kisses between relatives show closeness, and Jacob's kiss for Rachel is read as joy at finding family after a long journey. Psalm 85 is read as picturing justice and peace joined in harmony, and Job's words as a warning against false worship of sun or moon. Proverbs warns that an enemy's kisses can be false. In the primary lessons: Everyday life: families kiss goodnight or kiss hello; in some countries people greet with a kiss on the cheek. Body safety: your body belongs to you; you can say no to a kiss or hug, even from a relative, and nobody should ask you to keep kisses secret. In fairy tales a kiss can break a spell. Phrases: «kiss goodnight», «a kiss on the cheek», «blow a kiss», «kiss and make up», «kiss it better». ### examples - And he came near, and kissed him.
