Genesi第49章:8
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#6448
6448. 'And he blessed them, each according to his blessing he blessed them' means foretellings about what was going to happen to each one's spiritual life when they entered that state. This is clear from the meaning of 'blessing' as foretelling, dealt with in 6230, 6254; and from the meaning of 'each according to his blessing he blessed them' as what was going to happen to each one. The fact that what is foretold has to do with each one's spiritual life when they entered that state is evident from all that has been stated in the present chapter regarding Israel's sons or the tribes named after them; for they are used to describe all states of the Church so far as forms of good and truth are concerned, thus so far as the spiritual life of everyone in the Church is concerned.
