Esodo 30:8
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.
Apocalypse Explained #317
317. And seven eyes. That this signifies, who has omniscience, is evident from the signification of seven eyes, when said of the Lord, as denoting omniscience; for eyes, when said of man, signify the understanding; wherefore, when said of the Lord, they signify omniscience. That eyes, when said of man, signify the understanding, and when said of the Lord, Providence, as also the Divine Wisdom and Intelligence, which is omniscience, may be seen above, n. 152. Seven eyes are mentioned, because seven signifies all, and is said of what is holy, as [has been shown] above.
