Esodo 23:10
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 # 9332
9332. And it shall drive out the Hivite, the Canaanite, and the Hittite, from before thee. That this signifies the flight of the falsities that are from evils, is evident from the signification of “driving out,” as being to put to flight, thus flight; and from the signification of “the Hivite, the Canaanite, and the Hittite,” as being falsities from evils—“the Hivite,” falsity from a lighter evil (n. 6860); “the Canaanite,” falsity from a more grievous evil (n. 4818, 8054); and “the Hittite,” falsity from the most grievous evil (n. 2913, 6858). (That by the nations in the land of Canaan are signified all falsities and evils in the complex, see the passages cited in n. 9327)
