8 E darò a te, ed a’ tuoi discendenti dopo te, il paese dove tu abiti come forestiere, tutto il paese di Canaan, in possessione perpetua; e sarò loro Dio.


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.

2082. Shall bear thee a son. That this signifies that the rational will be from this conjunction of Divine truth with Divine good, is evident from the signification of a “son,” as being truth, here rational truth (also spoken of above, n. 2066).
