Genesi 11:17
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.
Arcana Coelestia #1339
1339. Verse 12 And Arpachshad lived thirty-five years, and he begot Shelah.
'Arpachshad lived thirty-five years' means the beginning of the second state of this Church, and also the second state itself, 'Arpachshad' here, as previously, meaning knowledge. 'And he begot Shelah' means a derivative from that, 'Shelah' being a nation so named which means that which comes from knowledge.
