Genesi 12:1
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 #1497
1497. 'Now behold your wife, take her and go' means that truth was to be joined to what is celestial. This is clear from the meaning of 'wife' as truth that was to be joined to the celestial, as shown above at verses 11-12, and from what has just been stated.
