Genesi 9:7
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 #1092
1092. Verse 25. And he said, Cursed be Canaan; a servant of servants shall he be to his brethren. “Cursed be Canaan” signifies that external worship separate from internal averts itself from the Lord; “a servant of servants shall he be to his brethren” signifies the vilest thing in the church.
