Genesi 12:20
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.

1478. Verse 14 And it happened, when Abram came into Egypt, that the Egyptians saw the woman, that she was very beautiful.
'It happened, when Abram came into Egypt' means when the Lord started to receive instruction. 'That the Egyptians saw the woman, that she was very beautiful' means that the knowledge which is comprised of cognitions is by nature such as to be to itself highly pleasing.
