Genesi 26:17
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 #3410
3410. 'The Philistines envied him' means that people governed by no more than a knowledge of cognitions did not have any grasp of such good and truth. This is clear from the meaning here of 'envying' as not having a grasp of, as is evident from what comes next, and from the meaning of 'the Philistines' as knowledge of cognitions. Thus 'the Philistines' are people who possess a knowledge of cognitions, dealt with in 1197, 1198.
