Genesi 22:6
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 #2823
2823. Verse 12. And He said, Put not forth thine hand upon the boy, and do not anything unto him; for now I know that thou fearest God, and thou hast not withheld thy son, thine only one, from Me. “He said, Put not forth thine hand upon the boy,” signifies that He should admit the temptation no further into the Truth Divine which belonged to the rational; “and do not anything unto him,” signifies liberation; “for now I know that thou fearest God,” signifies glorification from the Divine love; “and hast not withheld thy son, thine only one, from Me,” signifies the unition of the Human with the Divine by means of the last of temptation.
