19 E Giacobbe disse a suo padre: Io sono Esaù, tuo primogenito; io ho fatto come tu mi dicesti. Deh! levati, assettati, e mangia della mia cacciagione, acciocchè l’anima tua mi benedica.


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.

3541. 'On his hands' means according to the ability to receive. This is clear from the meaning of 'the hand' as power, dealt with in 878, 3091, and so the ability to receive.
