40 E tu viverai con la tua spada, E servirai al tuo fratello; Ma egli avverrà che, dopo che tu avrai gemuto, Tu spezzerai il suo giogo d’in sul tuo collo.


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.

3588. 'That Esau his brother came in from his hunting' means truth acquired from good and its arrival. This is clear from the representation of 'Esau' as the good of the natural, dealt with above, from the meaning of 'coming in' as arrival, and from the meaning of 'venison' as truth which is acquired from good, dealt with in 3501.
