Genesi 13

Studie

   

1 Abramo adunque salì di Egitto, con la sua moglie, e con tutto ciò ch’era suo, e con Lot, traendo verso il Mezzodì.

2 Or Abramo era grandemente possente in bestiame, in argento ed in oro.

3 Ed egli, seguendo il suo viaggio, andò dal Mezzodì fino a Betel, fino al luogo dove prima erano stati i suoi padiglioni, fra Betel ed Ai,

4 nel luogo ove era l’altare che egli aveva prima fatto quivi; ed Abramo invocò quivi il nome del Signore.

5 OR Lot ancora, che andava con Abramo, avea pecore, e buoi, e padiglioni.

6 E il paese non li poteva portare, abitando amendue insieme; perciocchè le lor facoltà erano grandi, e non potevano dimorare insieme.

7 E nacque contesa fra i pastori del bestiame di Abramo, ed i pastori del bestiame di Lot. Or i Cananei ed i Ferezei abitavano allora nel paese.

8 Ed Abramo disse a Lot: Deh! non siavi contesa fra me e te, nè fra i miei pastori ed i tuoi; conciossiachè noi siamo fratelli.

9 Tutto il paese non è egli davanti a te? deh! separati d’appresso a me; se tu vai a sinistra, io andrò a destra; e se tu vai a destra, io andrò a sinistra.

10 E Lot, alzati gli occhi, riguardò tutta la pianura del Giordano, ch’era tutta adacquata; avanti che il Signore avesse distrutto Sodoma e Gomorra, quella era come il giardino del Signore, come il paese di Egitto, fino a Soar.

11 E Lot elesse per sè tutta la pianura del Giordano; ed egli si partì, traendo verso l’Oriente; e così si separarono l’uno dall’altro.

12 Abramo dimorò nel paese di Canaan, e Lot dimorò nelle terre della pianura, e andò tendendo i suoi padiglioni fin che venne a Sodoma.

13 Ora gli uomini di Sodoma erano grandemente scellerati e peccatori contro al Signore.

14 E il Signore disse ad Abramo, dopo che Lot si fu separato d’appresso a lui: Alza ora gli occhi tuoi, e riguarda, dal luogo ove tu sei, verso il Settentrione, verso il Mezzodì, verso l’Oriente, e verso l’Occidente.

15 Perciocchè io darò a te ed alla tua progenie, in perpetuo, il paese che tu vedi.

16 E farò che la tua progenie sarà come la polvere della terra; che se alcuno può annoverar la polvere della terra, anche potrassi annoverar la tua progenie.

17 Levati, va’ attorno per lo paese, per largo e per lungo; perciocchè io tel darò.

18 Abramo adunque andò tendendo i suoi padiglioni; e, giunto alle pianure di Mamre, che sono in Hebron, dimorò quivi, e vi edificò un altare al 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.

1602. That 'Jehovah said to Abram' means that Jehovah so spoke to the Lord becomes clear from the internal sense of the Word, in which the Lord is meant by 'Abram', and also from the very state that was His at that time and which is also described here, that is to say, a state in which external things that obstructed were removed. This is what is meant by the statement 'after Lot had been separated from him'. The Lord was Divine as regards His Internal Man because He was begotten from Jehovah, and so when there was no obstruction on the part of the External Man, He consequently saw all things to come. The reason this then seemed to be 'Jehovah saying' is that it took place in the presence of the External Man. As regards the Internal Man He was One with Jehovah, as the Lord Himself teaches in John,

Philip said, Show us the Father. Jesus said to him, Have I been with you so long and yet you do not know Me, Philip? He who sees Me sees the Father So why do you say, Show us the Father? Do you not believe that I am in the Father and the Father in Me? Believe Me, that I am in the Father and the Father in Me. John 14:6, 8-11.

Genesis 13

Studie

   

1 Abram went up out of Egypt: he, his wife, all that he had, and Lot with him, into the South.

2 Abram was very rich in livestock, in silver, and in gold.

3 He went on his journeys from the South even to Bethel, to the place where his tent had been at the beginning, between Bethel and Ai,

4 to the place of the altar, which he had made there at the first. There Abram called on the name of Yahweh.

5 Lot also, who went with Abram, had flocks, and herds, and tents.

6 The land was not able to bear them, that they might live together: for their substance was great, so that they could not live together.

7 There was a strife between the herdsmen of Abram's livestock and the herdsmen of Lot's livestock: and the Canaanite and the Perizzite lived in the land at that time.

8 Abram said to Lot, "Please, let there be no strife between me and you, and between my herdsmen and your herdsmen; for we are relatives.

9 Isn't the whole land before you? Please separate yourself from me. If you go to the left hand, then I will go to the right. Or if you go to the right hand, then I will go to the left."

10 Lot lifted up his eyes, and saw all the plain of the Jordan, that it was well-watered everywhere, before Yahweh destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah, like the garden of Yahweh, like the land of Egypt, as you go to Zoar.

11 So Lot chose the Plain of the Jordan for himself. Lot traveled east, and they separated themselves the one from the other.

12 Abram lived in the land of Canaan, and Lot lived in the cities of the plain, and moved his tent as far as Sodom.

13 Now the men of Sodom were exceedingly wicked and sinners against Yahweh.

14 Yahweh said to Abram, after Lot was separated from him, "Now, lift up your eyes, and look from the place where you are, northward and southward and eastward and westward,

15 for all the land which you see, I will give to you, and to your offspring forever.

16 I will make your offspring as the dust of the earth, so that if a man can number the dust of the earth, then your seed may also be numbered.

17 Arise, walk through the land in its length and in its breadth; for I will give it to you."

18 Abram moved his tent, and came and lived by the oaks of Mamre, which are in Hebron, and built an altar there to Yahweh.
