Genesi第28章:1
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#3689
3689. Verses 10-11 And Jacob went out from Beersheba and went to Haran. And he came upon a place, and spent the night there because the sun had gone down. And he took one of the stones of the place and placed it as his headrest, and lay down in that place.
'Jacob went out from Beersheba' means life more remote from matters of doctrine that are Divine. 'And went to Haran' means closer to that degree of good and truth. 'And he came upon a place' means a state. 'And spent the night there because the sun had gone down' means life enveloped in obscurity. 'And he took one of the stones of the place' means the truths belonging to that state. 'And placed it as his headrest' means a very general communication with the Divine. 'And lay down in that place' means the serenity of that state.
