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.
2008. Verse 5. And thy name shall no more be called Abram; and thy name shall be Abraham, for a father of a multitude of nations have I made thee. “Thy name shall no more be called Abram,” signifies that He will put off the human; “and thy name shall be Abraham,” signifies that He will put on the Divine; “for a father of a multitude of nations have I made thee,” signifies here, as before, that all truth and the good thence derived come from Him.
