Esodo 22:22
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 # 9155
9155. '[To see] whether or not he has put his hand into his companion's property' means whether it has entered into that good. This is clear from the meaning of 'whether or not he has put his hand' as whether good has made them subject to its own control and power; and from the meaning of 'into his companion's property' as truth and factual knowledge that have been taken away, for the silver and vessels, which have been delivered to someone for safe keeping but have been taken away, are what 'companion's property' refers to. For the meaning of 'silver and vessels' as truths and factual knowledge, see above in 9149. From this it is evident that 'whether or not the master of the house has put his hand into his companion's property' means whether good has made truths and factual knowledge subject to its own control and power - the truths and factual knowledge that have been taken away - thus whether these had previously entered into good, according to what has been shown immediately above in 9154. For the meaning of 'hand' as power, see 878, 3387, 4931-4937, 5296, 6292, 7188, 7189, 7518, 7673, 8153, and for 'in the hand' as that which resides with and within someone, 9133.
