9 E il servitore pose la sua mano sotto la coscia di Abrahamo, suo signore, e gli giurò intorno a quest’affare.


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.

3204. And she said unto the servant. That this signifies exploration from the Divine natural, appears from the signification here of “saying,” as denoting to explore; for she asked, “What man is this that walketh in the field to meet us?” and from the signification of the “servant,” as being the Divine natural (see above, n. 3191, 3192).
