Genesi 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.
Arcana Coelestia #1479
1479. That 'it happened, when Abram came into Egypt' means when the Lord started to receive instruction is clear from the representation of 'Abram' in the internal sense as the Lord when a boy, and from the meaning of 'Egypt', as shown above at verse 10 of this chapter, as knowledge comprised of cognitions. From this it is evident that 'coming into Egypt' means receiving instruction.
