Genesi 50:14
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 # 6566
6566. 'And Joseph wept as they spoke to him' means reception brought about by love. This is clear from the meaning of 'weeping' as a sign indicative both of sadness and of love, dealt with in 3801, 5480, 5873, 5927, 5930; from the representation of 'Joseph' as the internal celestial, dealt with in 5805, 5826, 5827, 5869, 5877, 6177, 6224; and from the meaning of 'speaking' as influx and consequent reception, dealt with in 5797, for the influx comes from the internal celestial, which is 'Joseph', and the reception is by the truths in the natural, which are 'his brothers'. From all this it is evident that 'Joseph wept as they spoke to him' means reception brought about by love.
