Genesi 6:20
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 #650
650. That “length” signifies the holiness, “breadth” the truth, and “height” the good of whatever things are described by the numbers, cannot so well be confirmed from the Word, because they are each and all predicated according to the subject or thing treated of. Thus “length” as applied to time signifies perpetuity and eternity, as “length of days” in Psalms 23:6, and Psalms 21:4; but as applied to space it denotes holiness, as follows therefrom. And the same is the case with “breadth” and “height.” There is a trinal dimension of all earthly things, but such dimensions cannot be predicated of celestial and spiritual things. When they are predicated, greater or less perfection is meant, apart from the dimensions, and also the quality and quantity; thus here the quality, that they were remains; and the quantity, that they were few.
Psalms 21
1
The king rejoices in your strength, Yahweh! How greatly he rejoices in your salvation!
2
You have given him his heart's desire, and have not withheld the request of his lips. Selah.
3
For you meet him with the blessings of goodness. You set a crown of fine gold on his head.
4
He asked life of you, you gave it to him, even length of days forever and ever.
5
His glory is great in your salvation. You lay honor and majesty on him.
6
For you make him most blessed forever. You make him glad with joy in your presence.
7
For the king trusts in Yahweh. Through the loving kindness of the Most High, he shall not be moved.
8
Your hand will find out all of your enemies. Your right hand will find out those who hate you.
9
You will make them as a fiery furnace in the time of your anger. Yahweh will swallow them up in his wrath. The fire shall devour them.
10
You will destroy their descendants from the earth, their posterity from among the children of men.
11
For they intended evil against you. They plotted evil against you which cannot succeed.
12
For you will make them turn their back, when you aim drawn bows at their face.
13
Be exalted, Yahweh, in your strength, so we will sing and praise your power. For the Chief Musician; set to "The Doe of the Morning." A Psalm by David.
