Joel 1:12
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.
Sew
In Genesis 3:7, to sew leaves together is to make excuses. (Arcana Coelestia 216)
In Mark 2:21, this signifies to destroy both the old and the new. (Arcana Coelestia 9212[7])
