15 E Labano gli disse: Perchè tu sei mio fratello, mi serviresti tu gratuitamente? dichiarami qual deve essere il tuo premio.


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.

3831. 'And Laban gathered together all the men of the place' means all the truths belonging to that state. This is clear from the meaning of 'the men' as truths, dealt with in 3134, and from the meaning of 'the place' as state, dealt with in 2625, 2837, 3356, 3387.
