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.

2017. Verse 7 And I will establish My covenant between Me and you and your seed after you throughout their generations for an eternal covenant, to be God to you and to your seed after you.

'I will establish My covenant between Me and you' means union. 'And your seed after you' means conjunction with those who have faith in Him. 'Throughout their generations' means the things that comprise faith. 'For an eternal covenant' means conjunction with these people. 'To be God to you' means the Lord's Divine within Himself. 'And to your seed after you' means the Divine from that source with those who have faith in Him.
