E presenti il sacerdote, che farà la purificazione, colui che si purificherà, insieme con quelle cose, davanti al Signore, all’entrata del Tabernacolo della convenenza.
Levitico 14:11
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.
The Lord # 10
10. In the broadest sense, “the law” means everything in the Word, as we can see from the following passages,
Jesus said, “Is it not written in your law, ‘I said, “You are gods”?’” (John 10:34, in reference to Psalms 82:6)
The crowd replied, “We have heard from the law that the Christ will abide forever.” (John 12:34, in reference to Psalms 89:29; 110:4; Daniel 7:14)
To fulfill the word written in their law: “They hated me for no reason.” (John 15:25, in reference to Psalms 35:19)
The Pharisees said, “Have any of the leaders believed in him? Only this crowd, that does not know the law.” (John 7:48-49)
It is easier for heaven and earth to pass away than for the tip of one letter of the law to fall. (Luke 16:17)
“The law” in these passages means the entire Sacred Scripture.
Luke 2:22-24
22
When the days of their purification according to the law of Moses were fulfilled, they brought him up to Jerusalem, to present him to the Lord
23
(as it is written in the law of the Lord, "Every male who opens the womb shall be called holy to the Lord"),
24
and to offer a sacrifice according to that which is said in the law of the Lord, "A pair of turtledoves, or two young pigeons."
