Genesi 43:23
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 # 5667
5667. 'And the man brought the men to Joseph's house' means an introductory stage to the joining to the internal. This is clear from the meaning of 'bringing the men to Joseph's house' as the linking of the truths belonging to the natural to the internal, dealt with above in 5648. It is quite clear from the details that follow that an introductory stage to that joining together is meant - from their eating there, and from Joseph's not revealing to them who he really was, which details mean the general influx which is dealt with in what now follows and which is the introductory stage.
