Ezechiele 47:16
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 # 9660
9660. 'Sixteen bases' means total support. This is clear from the meaning of 'sixteen' as that which is total, 'sixteen' being similar in meaning to 'eight' since multiple numbers have a similar meaning to the simple ones of which they are the products, 5291, 5335, 5708, 7973, and 'eight' means what is complete and what is so in every respect, as shown immediately above in 9659, thus that which is total; and from the meaning of 'bases' as support, dealt with in 9643.
