Genesi 4:10
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.
Arcana Coelestia #385
385. Verse 14. Behold Thou hast cast me out this day from the faces of the ground, and from Thy faces shall I be hid; and I shall be a fugitive and a wanderer in the earth; and it shall come to pass that everyone that findeth me shall slay me. To be “cast out from the faces of the ground” signifies to be separated from all the truth of the church; to be “hid from Thy faces” signifies to be separated from all the good of faith of love; to be a “fugitive and a wanderer in the earth” is not to know what is true and good; “everyone that findeth me shall slay me” signifies that all evil and falsity would destroy him.
