Genesi 47:17
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.

6102. 'And Joseph caused his father and his brothers to dwell' means the life which spiritual good and the Church's truths received from the internal celestial. This is clear from the meaning of 'dwelling' as life, dealt with in 1293, 3384, 3613, 4451, 6051; from the representation of Israel, to whom 'father' refers here, as spiritual good from the natural, dealt with in 5801, 5803, 5806, 5812, 5817, 5819, 5826, 5833; from the representation of his sons, to whom 'brothers' refers here, as the Church's truths in the natural, dealt with in 5414, 5879, 5951; and from the representation of 'Joseph' as the internal celestial, dealt with in 5869, 5877. From all this it is evident that 'Joseph caused his father and his brothers to dwell' means the life which spiritual good and the Church's truths received from the internal celestial.
Arcana Coelestia # 6051
6051. 'So that you may dwell in the land of Goshen' means your place will for that reason be in the middle of the natural where the Church's factual knowledge resides. This is clear from the meaning of 'dwelling' as life and so the place where it is situated, 1293, 3384, 4451; and from the meaning of 'Goshen' as the middle or inmost part of the natural, dealt with in 5910, 6028. The residence there of the Church's factual knowledge, which is meant by 'Egypt', is self-evident; for Goshen was the best land in Egypt.
