Genesi 10:5
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 # 1231
1231. That by “Lud” are signified the knowledges of truth, is evident from the fact that the knowledges of truth are from that source, that is, from the Lord through charity, and thus through faith, by means of reason and of memory-knowledge. So also in Ezekiel:
Persia and Lud and Put were in thine army, thy men of war; they hanged the shield and helmet in thee; they set forth thine honor (Ezekiel 27:10).
This is said of Tyre. “Lud and Put” denote knowledges, which are said to be in her army and to be her men of war, because they serve in defending truths with the aid of reason. This also is to “hang the shield and helmet.” That “Put” signifies the exterior knowledges of the Word, may be seen above, at verse 6 of this chapter.
