9
Ed Abimelecco chiamò Abrahamo, e gli disse: Che cosa ci hai tu fatto? e di che ti ho io offeso, che tu abbi fatto venir sopra me, e sopra il mio regno, un gran peccato? Tu hai fatto inverso me cose che non si convengono fare.
Genesi 20:9
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 #2569
2569. And gave unto Abraham; and restored to him Sarah his wife. That he “gave unto Abraham” signifies to the Lord, is evident from the representation of Abraham, as being the Lord (concerning which frequently before). That he “restored unto him Sarah his wife” signifies when the Divine spiritual had been adjoined to the Divine celestial, is evident from the signification of “Sarah a wife,” as being spiritual truth adjoined to celestial good (see n. 2507). The internal sense of the words in this verse is manifest from what has been said, namely, that when the Human in the Lord had been united to the Divine, and the Divine to the Human, He then possessed omniscience not only of Divine celestial and spiritual things, but also of infra-celestial and infra-spiritual things, that is, of rational and natural things; for from the Divine, as from the Sun of all light, everything is seen as present.
