Perchè morreste, tu e il tuo popolo, per la spada, per la fame, e per la pestilenza, come il Signore ha pronunziato contro alla gente che non servirà al re di Babilonia?
Geremia 27:13
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.
Inizio
Nel Verbo, "inizio" non significa solo l'inizio di qualcosa nel tempo. In senso interiore, significa la fase iniziale di uno stato spirituale.
Spiritualmente, "l'inizio" avviene quando iniziamo una nuova crescita - nuovi livelli di consapevolezza e di volontà di ricevere beni e verità dal Signore, e di usarli.

5655. 'We certainly came down at the beginning to buy food' means a mind set on acquiring good for truths. This is clear from the meaning of 'coming down' as a mind set on something, that is, an intention; for a person who goes down or betakes himself to any place does so from a set purpose, the purpose being in this case to acquire good for truths, meant by 'buying food'. For 'buying' means acquiring and making one's own, 5374, 5397, 5406, 5414, 5426, while 'food' means the good of truth, 5340, 5342, in this case good for truths which are represented by 'the sons of Jacob' who spoke these words regarding themselves.
