Genesi 25:7
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 # 3281
3281. 'And Isaac was a son of forty years' means from His own power by means of the conflicts brought about by temptations. This is clear from the representation of 'Isaac' as the Divine Rational, often dealt with already, from the meaning of 'forty' as temptations, dealt with in 730, 862, and from the meaning of 'years' as states, dealt with in 23, 487, 488, 493, 893, 2788. Consequently the internal sense of these words is that the Lord made His Rational Divine even as regards truth by means of the conflicts brought about by temptations, and so by His own power. For the Lord by His own power made everything human within Himself Divine by means of the temptations He underwent, as has been shown already in 1661, 1663, 1668, 1690, 1787, 2083, 2523, 2632, 2776, 3030, 3043, 3141.
