Amos 8:2
To many Protestant and Evangelical Italians, the Bibles translated by Giovanni Diodati are an important part of their history. Diodati’s first Italian Bible edition was printed in 1607, and his second in 1641. He died in 1649. Throughout the 1800s two editions of Diodati’s text were printed by the British Foreign Bible Society. This is the more recent 1894 edition, translated by Claudiana.
Arcana Coelestia # 9641
9641. 'And you shall make twenty boards for the dwelling-place' means good lending support to heaven in every respect and totally. This is clear from the meaning of 'the boards of the dwelling-place' as good lending support to heaven, dealt with in 9634; and from the meaning of 'twenty' as what is complete, thus what exists in every respect and totally. This is what 'twenty' means because multiple numbers have the same meaning as the simple ones of which they are the products, 5291, 5335, 5708, 7973, so that the number 'twenty' has the same meaning as ten and two which when multiplied together produce that number. For the meaning of 'ten' as that which is complete, and all, see 3107, 4638, and likewise 'two', 9103, 9166.
Psalms 91:5-6
5
You shall not be afraid of the terror by night, nor of the arrow that flies by day;
6
nor of the pestilence that walks in darkness, nor of the destruction that wastes at noonday.
