Esodo 19:15
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 # 8798
8798. 'Let no hand touch it' means those who have enough arrogant self-confidence to force their way through. This is clear from the meaning of 'touching' - touching the mountain - as forcing one's way through to Divine celestial good, dealt with immediately above in 8797; and from the meaning of 'hand' as power, dealt with in 4931-4937, 5327, 5328, 6292, 6947, 7188, 7189, 7518, 7673, 8050, 8153, 8281, from which also arrogant self-confidence is meant, 878, 5544.
