28 L’aspetto di quello splendore d’ogn’intorno era simile all’aspetto dell’arco, che è nella nuvola in giorno di pioggia. Questo fu l’aspetto della somiglianza della gloria del Signore; la quale come io ebbi veduta, caddi sopra la mia faccia, e udii la voce d’uno che parlava.


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.

Commentary

 

Loins

  

The loins, as in Ezekiel 29:7, signify the marriage of truth and good. In general, loins signify love, and when referring to the Lord, divine love. They can also signify the interiors of conjugial love. In Isaiah 11:5, they signify people in the divine good of love, and reins signify people in love towards their neighbor.
