Genesi 31:39

39 Io non ti ho portato ciò ch’era lacerato; io l’ho pagato; tu me lo hai ridomandato: come ancora se alcuna cosa era stata rubata di giorno o di notte.


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 #4201

Studere hoc loco

4201. 'See, God is witness between me and you' means confirmation, in this case by the Divine. This is clear from the meaning of 'witness' as confirmation, dealt with just above in 4197.
