Genesi 26:20
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.

Those three degrees which in general are called those of the human understanding - that is to say, intellect, reason, and knowledge - are also meant, as has been stated, by the windows for the three storeys of the Temple in Jerusalem, 1 Kings 6:4, 6, 8. They are also meant in what has appeared earlier by the rivers that went out of the garden of Eden from the east, where 'the east' means the Lord, 'Eden' love which belongs to the will, 'the garden' resulting intelligence, and 'the rivers' wisdom, reason, and knowledge. For these matters, see what has been stated at Genesis 2:10-14.
