14 Essi vi entrarono, ed anche fiere de ogni specie, ed animali domestici di ogni specie, e rettili che serpono sopra la terra di ogni specie, ed uccelli di ogni specie, ed uccelletti di ogni sorta di qualunque ala.


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.

781. Verse 16. And they that went in, went in male and female of all flesh, as God had commanded him; and Jehovah shut after him. “They that went in” signifies the things that were with the man of the church; “went in male and female of all flesh” signifies that there were with him truths and goods of every kind; “as God had commanded” signifies for the reception of which he had been prepared; “and Jehovah shut after him” signifies that man no longer had such communication with heaven as had the man of the celestial church.
