Genesi 25:27
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.
Handmaid
'A handmaid', as mentioned in Genesis 33:2, signifies the affection of sciences and knowledges and means serviceable to the conjunction of the external and internal self.
In Genesis 33:7, this signifies knowledge of external things derived from the world, which are the most common or general of all. This also signifies the affection of rational and scientific things.
In Genesis 30:3, this signifies the affirming medium of conjoining inner truths with natural or external truths.
