26 e li contaminai ne’ lor doni, ed offerte, in ciò che fecero passar per lo fuoco tutto ciò che apre la matrice; acciocchè io li mettessi in desolazione, affinchè conoscessero che io sono il Signore.


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.

Milk

  
The Milkmaid by Johannes Vermeer

Water represents true ideas about day-to-day life, and other drinks and liquids in general represent different forms of truth. Milk is a drink that contains fat, and fat represents the highest human love: the love of the Lord. Because of the fat, milk represents the true ideas that flow naturally from the love of the Lord. This is not something most of us experience, because most of us are caught up in a battle between our selfish desires and our good ones. Because of that, we need to really look for what is true and use that to figure out how to be good; we're led by ideas in our minds. But people -- or angels -- who are in a state of love to the Lord have no such struggles. They know what's right and wrong automatically, based on whether ideas fit their love or not. That kind of truth -- the truth that comes from love -- is represented by milk.
