10 E Abimelecco gli disse: Che cosa è questo che tu ci hai fatto? per poco alcuno del popolo si sarebbe giaciuto con la tua moglie, e così tu ci avresti fatto venire addosso una gran colpa.


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.

3363. Verse 1 And there was a famine in the land, in addition to the previous famine that occurred in the days of Abraham; and Isaac went to Abimelech the king of the Philistines, to Gerar.

'There was a famine in the land, in addition to the previous famine that occurred in the days of Abraham' means an absence of cognitions of faith. 'And Isaac went to Abimelech the king of the Philistines, to Gerar' means matters of doctrine concerning faith - 'Abimelech' being the doctrine of faith which has regard to rational things, 'the king of the Philistines' matters of doctrine, and 'Gerar' faith.
