14 Abrahamo adunque, levatosi la mattina a buon’ora, prese del pane, ed un bariletto d’acqua, e diede ciò ad Agar, metendoglielo in ispalla; le diede ancora il fanciullo, e la mandò via. Ed ella si partì, e andò errando per lo deserto di Beerseba.


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.

2725. Verse 34 And Abraham sojourned in the land of the Philistines for many days.

'Abraham sojourned in the land of the Philistines for many days' means that the Lord allied to the doctrine of faith very many things drawn from a knowledge of human cognitions.
