Genesi 35:11
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 #4558
4558. 'And he built an altar there' means through being made holy. This is clear from the meaning of 'an altar' as the chief representative of the Lord, and from this as the holiness of worship, dealt with in 4541; and when it has reference to the Lord, as His Divine Human and the holiness which proceeds from this, 2811. For that which in the Church is the chief representative of the Lord also means in the highest sense the Lord Himself as to His Divine Human, because that which is the representative of it is in the highest sense that Human itself. The making holy of the natural is meant by 'he built an altar there (that is, in Bethel)', for 'Bethel' means the Divine Natural, see just above in 4556.
