Esodo 1

Studie

1 OR questi sono i nomi de’ figliuoli d’Israele, che vennero in Egitto: essi vi vennero con Giacobbe, ciascuno con la sua famiglia.

2 Ruben, Simeone, Levi, e Giuda;

3 Issacar, Zabulon, e Beniamino;

4 Dan, Neftali, Gad, e Aser.

5 E tutte le persone, uscite dell’anca di Giacobbe, erano settanta. Or Giuseppe era già in Egitto.

6 E Giuseppe morì, e tutti i suoi fratelli, e tutta quella generazione.

7 E i figliuoli d’Israele fruttarono e moltiplicarono copiosamente, e crebbero, e divennero grandemente possenti, talchè il paese fu ripieno di essi.

8 Or sorse un nuovo re sopra l’Egitto, il qual non avea conosciuto Giuseppe.

9 Costui disse al suo popolo: Ecco, il popolo de’ figliuoli d’Israele è più grande e più possente di noi.

10 Ora procediamo saggiamente intorno ad esso; che talora non moltiplichi; onde, se alcuna guerra avvenisse, egli non si congiunga anche esso co’ nostri nemici, e non guerreggi contro a noi, o se ne vada via dal paese.

11 Furono adunque costituiti sopra il popolo d’Israele commissari d’angherie, per affliggerlo con le lor gravezze. E il popolo edificò a Faraone delle città da magazzini, cioè, Pitom e Raamses.

12 Ma quanto più l’affliggevano, tanto più cresceva, e tanto più moltiplicava fuor di modo; onde gli Egizj portavano gran noia de’ figliuoli d’Israele.

13 E gli Egizj facevano servire i figliuoli d’Israele con asprezza.

14 E li facevano vivere in amaritudine, con dura servitù, adoperandoli intorno all’argilla, e a’ mattoni, e ad ogni servigio de’ campi; tutta la servitù, nella quale li adoperavano, era con asprezza.

15 Il re di Egitto disse ancora alle levatrici delle donne Ebree, il nome dell’una delle quali era Sifra, e quel dell’altra Pua:

16 Quando voi ricoglierete i parti delle donne Ebree, e le vedrete in su la seggiola, se il parto è un figliuol maschio, uccidetelo; ma se è una figliuola femmina, lasciatela vivere.

17 Ma quelle levatrici temettero Iddio, e non fecero secondo che il re di Egitto avea loro detto; anzi lasciarono vivere i fanciulli.

18 E il re di Egitto chiamò le levatrici, e disse loro: Perchè avete voi fatto questo, di lasciar vivere i fanciulli?

19 E le levatrici dissero a Faraone: Le donne Ebree non sono come l’Egizie, perciocchè sono vigorose; avanti che la levatrice sia venuta a loro, hanno partorito.

20 E Iddio fece del bene a quelle levatrici; e il popolo crebbe, e divenne grandemente possente.

21 E perchè quelle levatrici temettero Iddio, egli edificò loro delle case.

22 Allora Faraone comandò a tutto il suo popolo, dicendo: Gittate nel fiume ogni figliuol maschio che nascerà, e lasciate vivere tutte le figliuole femmine.


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.

Joseph

  

Joseph in his highest meaning represents the life of Jesus. He also represents the state of knowing truths and using them to do good. This is phrased in many of the attached references as the celestial of the spiritual, or the good of truth, which is the good that is done because we know truths that are our guides to life.

Matthew 1

Studie

1 The book of the genealogy of Jesus Christ, the son of David, the son of Abraham.

2 Abraham became the father of Isaac. Isaac became the father of Jacob. Jacob became the father of Judah and his brothers.

3 Judah became the father of Perez and Zerah by Tamar. Perez became the father of Hezron. Hezron became the father of Ram.

4 Ram became the father of Amminadab. Amminadab became the father of Nahshon. Nahshon became the father of Salmon.

5 Salmon became the father of Boaz by Rahab. Boaz became the father of Obed by Ruth. Obed became the father of Jesse.

6 Jesse became the father of King David. David became the father of Solomon by her who had been the wife of Uriah.

7 Solomon became the father of Rehoboam. Rehoboam became the father of Abijah. Abijah became the father of Asa.

8 Asa became the father of Jehoshaphat. Jehoshaphat became the father of Joram. Joram became the father of Uzziah.

9 Uzziah became the father of Jotham. Jotham became the father of Ahaz. Ahaz became the father of Hezekiah.

10 Hezekiah became the father of Manasseh. Manasseh became the father of Amon. Amon became the father of Josiah.

11 Josiah became the father of Jechoniah and his brothers, at the time of the exile to Babylon.

12 After the exile to Babylon, Jechoniah became the father of Shealtiel. Shealtiel became the father of Zerubbabel.

13 Zerubbabel became the father of Abiud. Abiud became the father of Eliakim. Eliakim became the father of Azor.

14 Azor became the father of Sadoc. Sadoc became the father of Achim. Achim became the father of Eliud.

15 Eliud became the father of Eleazar. Eleazar became the father of Matthan. Matthan became the father of Jacob.

16 Jacob became the father of Joseph, the husband of Mary, from whom was born Jesus, who is called Christ.

17 So all the generations from Abraham to David are fourteen generations; from David to the exile to Babylon fourteen generations; and from the carrying away to Babylon to the Christ, fourteen generations.

18 Now the birth of Jesus Christ was like this; for after his mother, Mary, was engaged to Joseph, before they came together, she was found pregnant by the Holy Spirit.

19 Joseph, her husband, being a righteous man, and not willing to make her a public example, intended to put her away secretly.

20 But when he thought about these things, behold, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream, saying, "Joseph, son of David, don't be afraid to take to yourself Mary, your wife, for that which is conceived in her is of the Holy Spirit.

21 She shall bring forth a son. You shall call his name Jesus, for it is he who shall save his people from their sins."

22 Now all this has happened, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the Lord through the prophet, saying,

23 "Behold, the virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son. They shall call his name Immanuel;" which is, being interpreted, "God with us."

24 Joseph arose from his sleep, and did as the angel of the Lord commanded him, and took his wife to himself;

25 and didn't know her sexually until she had brought forth her firstborn son. He named him Jesus.
