The meaning in the greater sense. Exegesis: Explaining the meaning of the text; i.e., what the author meant when he wrote to the people of his day. Homiletics: Practical application of the meaning of the text for us today. Eisegesis: Reading a meaning into the text which was not in the original (because of a bias of the interpreter).
