Esodo 13:15
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 #8055
8055. 'Which He swore to your fathers to give you' means which the Divine promised to those governed by goodness and truth. This is clear from the meaning of 'swearing', when done by Jehovah, as unchangeable confirmation from the Divine, 2842, 3375, so that 'swearing to give' means a promise; and from the meaning of 'fathers' as those governed by goodness and truth, for when the Church is the subject 'fathers' means the ancients, that is, the Ancient Churches, which were governed by goodness and truth, 6050, 6075, 6589, 6876, 6884, 7649.
