Ezechiele 10:22
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.
Apocalypse Explained #180
180. Verse 29. He that hath an ear let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches, signifies that he who understands should hearken to what Divine truth proceeding from the Lord teaches and says to those who are in His church, as is evident from what was said and shown above n. 108, where there are like words.
Arcana Coelestia #4933
4933. The reason why the hands, arms, and shoulders correspond to power in the Grand Man is that the strength and powers of the whole body and of all its internal organs are linked to them, in that the body employs the arms and hands to exercise its strength and powers. This also is the reason why in the Word powers are meant by 'the hands', 'the arms', and 'the shoulders'. As regards 'the hands' having this meaning, see 878, 3387, and as regards 'the arms' meaning the same, this is evident from many places, such as the following,
Be their arm every morning. Isaiah 33:2.
The Lord Jehovih is coming with might, and His arm will exercise dominion for Him. Isaiah 40:10.
He works it by means of His arm of strength. Isaiah 44:12.
My arms will judge the peoples. Isaiah 51:5.
Put on strength, O arm of Jehovah. Isaiah 51:9.
I looked around, and there was no helper, therefore My own arm brought salvation to Me. Isaiah 63:5.
Cursed is he who trusts in man (homo) and makes flesh his arm. Jeremiah 17:5.
I have made the earth, man, and beast, by My great strength and by My outstretched arm. Jeremiah 27:5; 32:17.
The horn of Moab has been cut off and his arm broken. Jeremiah 48:25.
I am breaking the arms of the king of Egypt, but I will strengthen the arms of the king of Babel. Ezekiel 30:22, 24-25.
O Jehovah, break the arm of the wicked. Psalms 10:15.
According to the greatness of Your arm preserve those who are appointed to die. 1 Psalms 79:11.
They were brought out of Egypt by a mighty hand and an outstretched arm. Deuteronomy 7:19; 11:2-3; 26:8; Jeremiah 32:21; Psalms 136:12.
From these places it may also be recognized that by the right hand in the Word superior power is meant, and by 'sitting on the right hand of Jehovah' almighty power, Matthew 26:63-64; Luke 22:69; Mark 14:61-62; 16:19.
