Esodo 12:22
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 #7827
7827. 'He said, This month shall be for you the head of months' means that this state is the chief of all states. This is clear from the meaning of 'month' as the end of the state that is previous and the beginning of the one that comes next, thus a new state, dealt with in 3814; and from the meaning of 'the head', when used in reference to months of the year and in the internal sense to states of life, as the chief one. From this it is clear that 'this month shall be for you the head of months' means that this state is the chief of all states. The reason why that state is the chief one of all is contained in the words that come next.
