21 Mosè adunque chiamò tutti gli Anziani d’Israele, e disse loro: Traete fuori, e prendetevi un agnello, o un capretto, per ciascuna delle vostre famiglie, e scannate la Pasqua.


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.

Aaron

The Third Plague of Egypt, by William de Brailes, illustrates the flies, or gnats, rising from the dust.

This page from Walters manuscript W.106 depicts a scene from Exodus, in which God rained plagues upon Egypt. After plagues of blood and frogs, Pharaoh hardened his heart again and would not let the Israelites leave Egypt. God told Moses to tell Aaron to stretch forth his rod and strike the dust of the earth that it may become gnats throughout the land of Egypt. Here, Moses, horned (a sign of his encounter with divinity), carries the rod, while Aaron, wearing the miter of a priest, stands behind him. The gnats arise en masse out of the dust from which they were made and attack Pharaoh, seated and crowned, and his retinue.

Nella prima parte della storia, Mosè rappresenta la Parola così com'è veramente, così come è intesa in cielo, e Aronne rappresenta la Parola nel suo senso esterno, così come è intesa nel mondo dagli uomini. Per questo egli parla per Mosè e il Signore dice di lui "egli sarà per voi come una bocca, e voi sarete per lui come Dio". (Esodo 4:16). Aronne era il fratello di Mosè. Egli simboleggia due cose, una durante la prima parte dell'esodo, quando era il portavoce di Mosè, e un'altra dopo la costruzione del Tabernacolo e la sua inaugurazione come sommo sacerdote. Più tardi, quando Aaronne era vestito con i suoi abiti da cerimonia (vedi capitoli del Levitico 8,9), è stato inaugurato nell'ufficio del sommo sacerdote d'Israele. In questo ruolo, Aronne rappresenta il Signore per il Bene Divino, e Mosè rappresenta il Signore per la Verità Divina.

6436. 'They will be on the head of Joseph' means those things with respect to the interiors. This is clear from the meaning of 'the head' as the interiors, for it is there that everything in the human being exists first and foremost. A further reason why the interiors are what are meant by 'the head' lies in correspondence. From correspondence 'the neck' means what is intermediate, 'the body' the exteriors, and 'the feet and soles of the feet' the most external parts. This correspondence has its origin in heaven's presentation of itself as the Grand Man. The inmost heaven where the Lord's celestial kingdom is situated presents itself as the head there; the middle or second heaven where His spiritual kingdom is located presents itself as the body; and the lowest or first heaven as the feet, see 4938, 4939, 5318, 6291.
