Numeri 26:9
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.
First begotten
First begotten from the dead, as in Revelation 1:5, signifies truth in act and operation, which is the good of life, and which is the primary of the church. It also signifies the Lord with respect to his humanity because he is divine truth itself united to divine good, from whom all men, who in themselves are dead, but with the Lord are made alive.
