Osea 12

Studie

   

1 (H12-2) Efraim si pasce di vento, e va dietro al vento orientale; tuttodì moltiplica menzogna, e rapina; e fanno patto con l’Assiro, ed olii odoriferi son portati in Egitto.

2 (H12-3) Il Signore ha bene anche lite con Giuda; ma egli farà punizione sopra Giacobbe, secondo le sue vie; egli gli renderà la retribuzione secondo le sue opere.

3 (H12-4) Nel ventre egli prese il calcagno del suo fratello, e con la sua forza fu vincitore, lottando con Iddio.

4 (H12-5) Egli fu vincitore, lottando con l’Angelo, e prevalse; egli pianse, e gli supplicò; lo trovò in Betel e quivi egli parlò con noi.

5 (H12-6) Or il Signore è l’Iddio degli eserciti; la sua ricordanza è: IL Signore.

6 (H12-7) Tu adunque, convertiti all’Iddio tuo; osserva benignità, e dirittura; e spera sempre nell’Iddio tuo.

7 (H12-8) Efraim è un Cananeo, egli ha in mano bilance false, egli ama far torto.

8 (H12-9) Ed Efraim ha detto: Io son pure arricchito; io mi sono acquistate delle facoltà; tutti i miei acquisti non mi hanno cagionata iniquità, che sia peccato.

9 (H12-10) Pur nondimeno io sono il Signore Iddio tuo, fin dal paese di Egitto; ancora ti farò abitare in tabernacoli, come a’ dì della festa solenne.

10 (H12-11) E parlerò a’ profeti, e moltiplicherò le visioni, e proporrò parabole per li profeti.

11 (H12-12) Certo, Galaad è tutto iniquità; non sono altro che vanità; sacrificano buoi in Ghilgal; ed anche i loro altari son come mucchi di pietre su per li solchi de’ campi.

12 (H12-13) Or Giacobbe se ne fuggì nella contrada di Siria, e Israele servì per una moglie, e per una moglie fu guardiano di greggia.

13 (H12-14) E il Signore, per lo profeta, trasse Israele fuor di Egitto, ed Israele fu guardato per lo profeta.

14 (H12-15) Efraim ha provocato il suo Signore ad ira acerbissima; perciò, egli gli lascerà addosso il suo sangue, e gli renderà il suo vituperio.

   

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.

Wife

  

The Hebrew of the Old Testament has six different common words which are generally translated as "wife," which largely overlap but have different nuances. Swedenborg uses two different Latin words, which largely overlap but have different nuances. Meanwhile, "wife" is often paired with "man" or "husband," which are also catch-all translations for a basket of Hebrew and Latin terms. So it's hard to pin down one universal meaning for "wife"; context and subject matter have a large effect.

In general, though, marriage in the Bible represents the union we all seek between our hearts and our minds. If we know what is right and pursue it faithfully, the Lord will ultimately help us love doing what is good, and the two aspects of ourselves will be unified. On a higher level, marriage represents the union we can have with the Lord, both individually and collectively as a church. As an intrinsic part of the marriage, the wife plays a key role in that meaning. But that meaning is different depending on what is being described.

If the marriage is describing a person who is spiritual in nature – "spiritual" being the second degree of heavenly life, in which people are led by intellect and knowledge with the desire for good following – the wife represents the desire for good, the affections that drive the person. If the marriage is describing someone who is celestial in nature – "celestial" being the highest degree of heavenly life, in which people are led from love, with the intellect and ideas following – the wife represents the true ideas held by the person or church. If the marriage is describing the union between the Lord and the church, the wife represents the church.

In a way, these are symbolic meanings that actually have little to do with gender. When "wife" describes a church, obviously that church can include both male and female people. When "wife" describes an aspect of a person, that person can obviously be either male or female.
