22 E faccia il sacerdote, col montone del sacrificio per la colpa, purgamento davanti al Signore, per lui, del peccato ch’egli ha commesso; e il peccato ch’egli ha commesso gli sia perdonato.


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.

Spiegazione di Levitico 19:22

By Henry MacLagan (machine translated into Italiano)

Versetto 22. E poi, per il bene, l'uomo esterno sarà riconciliato con l'interno, attraverso il pentimento, quando ha peccato per debolezza, e tuttavia riconosce sinceramente il Signore; e così il male sarà rimesso dal Signore.

6651. 'And a new king arose over Egypt' means separated factual knowledge, which is opposed to the Church's truths. This is clear from the representation of Pharaoh, to whom 'king' refers here, as factual knowledge in general, dealt with in 6015. The word 'king' is used because in the genuine sense 'king' means truth, 1672, 2015, 2069, 3670, 4581, 4966, 5044, 6148, and in the contrary sense falsity; and since 'king' refers here to Pharaoh, false factual knowledge is meant, that is, factual knowledge that is opposed to the Church's truths. This also explains why the expression 'new king' is used, for the one who lived in Joseph's time represented factual knowledge that accorded with the Church's truths. For the meaning of 'Egypt' as factual knowledge, here that knowledge in particular, see above in 6638.
