Genesi 7:19
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 #740
740. Verse 7. And Noah went in, and his sons, and his wife, and his sons’ wives with him, into the ark, from before the waters of the flood. “Noah went into the ark, from before the waters of the flood” signifies that he was protected in temptation; by “sons” are signified truths, as before; by “wife” goods; by “sons’ wives” truths conjoined with goods.
