Genesi 18:5

Study

       

5 Ed io arrecherò una fetta di pane, e voi vi conforterete il cuore; poi procederete al vostro cammino; conciossiachè per questo siate passati dal vostro servitore. Ed essi dissero: Fa’ così come tu hai detto.


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.

2232. That “sons” are those who are in truths, is evident from the signification of a “son” in the Word as being truth (see n. 489, 491, 533, 1147). By “sons” in the abstract sense are signified truths; but as applied to man, “sons” denote all those who are in truths.
