17
Anzi riconoscerà il primogenito, figliuol dell’odiata, per dargli la parte di due, in tutto ciò che si troverà avere; conciossiachè egli sia il principio della sua forza; a lui appartiene la ragione della primogenitura.
Deuteronomio 21:17
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.
Israel
'The children of Israel,' in Isaiah 14:2, signify the Gentiles.
In Jeremiah 23:8, 'Israel' represents the spiritual natural church.
