54 E poi mangiarono e bevvero, egli, e gli uomini ch’erano con lui, ed albergarono quivi quella notte; e la mattina seguente, essendosi levati, egli disse: Rimandatemi al mio signore.


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.

3032. Abraham said unto him. That this signifies the Lord’s perception from the Divine, is evident from the signification of “saying,” as being to perceive (see n. 3029); and from the representation of Abraham, as being the Lord as to the Divine Human, from which comes this perception.
