1 E IDDIO disse a Giacobbe: Levati, vattene in Betel, e dimora quivi, e fa’ un altare all’IDDIO che ti apparve quando tu fuggivi per tema di Esaù, tuo fratello.

2 E Giacobbe disse alla sua famiglia, ed a tutti coloro ch’erano con lui: Togliete via gl’iddii stranieri che son fra voi, e purificatevi, e cambiatevi i vestimenti.

3 E noi ci leveremo, ed andremo in Betel; ed io farò quivi un altare all’Iddio che mi ha risposto al giorno della mia angoscia, ed è stato meco per lo viaggio che io ho fatto.

4 Ed essi diedero a Giacobbe tutti gl’iddii degli stranieri, ch’erano nelle lor mani, e i monili che aveano agli orecchi; e Giacobbe il nascose sotto la quercia, ch’è vicina a Sichem.

5 Poi si partirono. E il terror di Dio fu sopra le città ch’erano d’intorno a loro; laonde non perseguirono i figliuoli di Giacobbe.

6 E Giacobbe, con tutta la gente ch’era con lui, giunse a Luz, ch’è nel paese di Canaan, la quale è Betel.

7 Ed edificò quivi un altare, e nominò quel luogo: L’Iddio di Betel; perciocchè quivi gli apparve Iddio, quando egli si fuggiva per tema del suo fratello.

8 E Debora, balia di Rebecca, morì, e fu seppellita al disotto di Betel, sotto una quercia, la quale Giacobbe nominò: Quercia di pianto.

9 E Iddio apparve ancora a Giacobbe, quando egli veniva di Paddan-aram, e lo benedisse.

10 E Iddio gli disse: Il tuo nome è Giacobbe: tu non sarai più nominato Giacobbe, anzi il tuo nome sarà Israele; e gli pose nome Israele.

11 Oltre a ciò Iddio gli disse: Io son l’Iddio Onnipotente; cresci e moltiplica; una nazione, anzi una raunanza di nazioni, verrà da te, e re usciranno da’ tuoi lombi.

12 Ed io donerò a te, ed alla tua progenie dopo te, il paese che io diedi ad Abrahamo e ad Isacco.

13 Poi Iddio risalì d’appresso a lui, nel luogo stesso dove egli avea parlato con lui.

14 E Giacobbe rizzò un piliere di pietra nel luogo ove Iddio avea parlato con lui; e versò sopra esso una offerta da spandere, e vi sparse su dell’olio.

15 Giacobbe adunque pose nome Betel a quel luogo, dove Iddio avea parlato con lui.

16 Poi Giacobbe, co’ suoi, partì di Betel; e, restandovi ancora alquanto spazio di paese per arrivare in Efrata, Rachele partorì, ed ebbe un duro parto.

17 E, mentre penava a partorire, la levatrice le disse: Non temere; perciocchè eccoti ancora un figliuolo.

18 E, come l’anima sua si partiva perciocchè ella morì, ella pose nome a quel figliuolo: Ben-oni; ma suo padre lo nominò Beniamino.

19 E Rachele morì, e fu seppellita nella via d’Efrata, ch’è Bet-lehem.

20 E Giacobbe rizzò una pila sopra la sepoltura di essa. Quest’è la pila della sepoltura di Rachele, che dura infino al dì d’oggi.

21 E Israele si partì, e tese i suoi padiglioni di là da Migdal-eder.

22 Ed avvenne, mentre Israele abitava in quel paese, che Ruben andò, e si giacque con Bilha, concubina di suo padre; e Israele lo intese.

23 Or i figliuoli di Giacobbe furono dodici.

24 I figliuoli di Lea furono Ruben, primogenito di Giacobbe, e Simeone e Levi, e Giuda, ed Issacar, e Zabulon.

25 E i figliuoli di Rachele furono Giuseppe e Beniamino.

26 E i figliuoli di Bilha, serva di Rachele, furono Dan e Neftali.

27 E i figliuoli di Zilpa, serva di Lea, furono Gad ed Aser. Questi sono i figliuoli di Giacobbe, i quali gli nacquero in Paddan-aram.

28 E Giacobbe arrivò ad Isacco, suo padre, in Mamre, nella città di Arba, ch’è Hebron, ove Abrahamo ed Isacco erano dimorati.

29 Or il tempo della vita d’Isacco fu di centottant’anni. (H35-30) Poi Isacco trapassò, e morì, e fu raccolto a’ suoi popoli, vecchio e sazio di giorni. Ed Esaù e Giacobbe, suoi figliuoli, lo seppellirono.

   


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.

4550. And they gave unto Jacob all the gods of the stranger which were in their hand. That this signifies that it rejected all falsities as much as possible, is evident from the signification of the “gods of the stranger,” as being falsities (see n. 4544); and from the signification of “which were in their hand,” as being as much as possible, for the “hand” signifies power (n. 878, 3387). Hence, “being in the hand” denotes being in their power, or as much as possible. Their “giving them to Jacob” denotes that good rejected them, for by Jacob in this chapter is represented the good of the natural (n. 4538).

Genesis 35

1 God said to Jacob, "Arise, go up to Bethel, and live there. Make there an altar to God, who appeared to you when you fled from the face of Esau your brother."

2 Then Jacob said to his household, and to all who were with him, "Put away the foreign gods that are among you, purify yourselves, change your garments.

3 Let us arise, and go up to Bethel. I will make there an altar to God, who answered me in the day of my distress, and was with me in the way which I went."

4 They gave to Jacob all the foreign gods which were in their hands, and the rings which were in their ears; and Jacob hid them under the oak which was by Shechem.

5 They traveled, and a terror of God was on the cities that were around them, and they didn't pursue the sons of Jacob.

6 So Jacob came to Luz (that is, Bethel), which is in the land of Canaan, he and all the people who were with him.

7 He built an altar there, and called the place El Beth El; because there God was revealed to him, when he fled from the face of his brother.

8 Deborah, Rebekah's nurse, died, and she was buried below Bethel under the oak; and its name was called Allon Bacuth.

9 God appeared to Jacob again, when he came from Paddan Aram, and blessed him.

10 God said to him, "Your name is Jacob. Your name shall not be Jacob any more, but your name will be Israel." He named him Israel.

11 God said to him, "I am God Almighty. Be fruitful and multiply. A nation and a company of nations will be from you, and kings will come out of your body.

12 The land which I gave to Abraham and Isaac, I will give it to you, and to your seed after you will I give the land."

13 God went up from him in the place where he spoke with him.

14 Jacob set up a pillar in the place where he spoke with him, a pillar of stone. He poured out a drink offering on it, and poured oil on it.

15 Jacob called the name of the place where God spoke with him "Bethel."

16 They traveled from Bethel. There was still some distance to come to Ephrath, and Rachel travailed. She had hard labor.

17 When she was in hard labor, the midwife said to her, "Don't be afraid, for now you will have another son."

18 It happened, as her soul was departing (for she died), that she named him Benoni, but his father named him Benjamin.

19 Rachel died, and was buried in the way to Ephrath (the same is Bethlehem).

20 Jacob set up a pillar on her grave. The same is the Pillar of Rachel's grave to this day.

21 Israel traveled, and spread his tent beyond the tower of Eder.

22 It happened, while Israel lived in that land, that Reuben went and lay with Bilhah, his father's concubine, and Israel heard of it. Now the sons of Jacob were twelve.

23 The sons of Leah: Reuben (Jacob's firstborn), Simeon, Levi, Judah, Issachar, and Zebulun.

24 The sons of Rachel: Joseph and Benjamin.

25 The sons of Bilhah (Rachel's handmaid): Dan and Naphtali.

26 The sons of Zilpah (Leah's handmaid): Gad and Asher. These are the sons of Jacob, who were born to him in Paddan Aram.

27 Jacob came to Isaac his father, to Mamre, to Kiriath Arba (which is Hebron), where Abraham and Isaac lived as foreigners.

28 The days of Isaac were one hundred eighty years.

29 Isaac gave up the spirit, and died, and was gathered to his people, old and full of days. Esau and Jacob, his sons, buried him.
