Kiss:
of affection (Gen 27:26,27; 29:13; Luk 7:38,45); reconciliation (Gen 33:4; 2Sa 14:33); leave-taking (Gen 31:28,55; Rth 1:14; 2Sa 19:39); homage (Psa 2:12; 1Sa 10:1); spoken of as between parents and children (Gen 27:26; 31:28,55; 48:10; 50:1; Exd 18:7; Rth 1:9,14); between male relatives (Gen 29:13; 33:4; 45:15). It accompanied social worship as a symbol of brotherly love (Rom 16:16; 1Cr 16:20; 2Cr 13:12; 1Th 5:26; 1Pe 5:14). The worship of idols was by kissing the image or the hand toward the image (1Ki 19:18; Hsa 13:2).
The Blue Letter Bible ministry and the BLB Institute hold to the historical, conservative Christian faith, which includes a firm belief in the inerrancy of Scripture. Since the text and audio content provided by BLB represent a range of evangelical traditions, all of the ideas and principles conveyed in the resource materials are not necessarily affirmed, in total, by this ministry.
