Genesi 17:5
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 #1998
1998. Verse 3 And Abram fell on his face, 1 and God spoke to him, saying,
'Abram fell on his face' 1 means adoration. 'And God spoke to him, saying' means a degree of perception, the name 'God' being used because God Shaddai whom Abram worshipped represents the Lord, and also because truth that was to be united to good is the subject.
