Chi ne farà del simigliante, per odorarlo, sia riciso da’ suoi popoli.
Esodo 30:38
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 # 10285
10285. 'It is holy; it shall be holy to you' means because it is Divine and the Lord's. This is clear from the meaning of 'holy', in reference to the anointing oil, as that which is Divine and the Lord's, the anointing oil being a representative sign of the Divine Good of Divine Love within the Lord's Divine Human, thus a representative sign of His Divine Human. For it amounts to the same thing whether you say the Divine Good of Divine Love or the Divine Human. It is because this Good was meant by the anointing oil and represented by anointing, and because that Good alone is holy (so that what emanates from Him, being His, is holy), that the oil was declared so many times to be holy. See also above in 10266.
