Esodo 12:12
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 commandment
In Exodus 20:3 and Deuteronomy 5:7, this signifies in the spiritual sense that only the Lord Jesus Christ is to be worshiped for He is Jehovah. (True Christian Religion 294) In the celestial sense it is signified that Jehovah, the Lord, is infinite, illimitable, and eternally omnipotent, omniscient, and omnipresent, the First and the Last, the Beginning and the End, who was, is, and is to be: Love and Wisdom itself, Good and Truth itself, thus Life itself, the One and Only Being from whom all things are. (True Christian Religion 295)
