20 E quant’è ad Ismaele ancora, io ti ho esaudito; ecco, io l’ho benedetto, e lo farò moltiplicare e crescer grandissimamente; egli genererà dodici principi, ed io lo farò divenire una gran nazione.


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.

1995. Verse 2 And I will make My covenant between Me and you, and I will multiply you more and more.

'I will make My covenant between Me and you' means the union of the Internal Man, which was Jehovah, with the Interior Man. 'And I will multiply you more and more' means endless fruitfulness of the affection for truth.
