- Genesis 21:6 tn Heb “Laughter God has made for me.”
- Genesis 21:6 tn The words “about this” are supplied in the translation for clarification.
- Genesis 21:6 sn Sarah’s words play on the name “Isaac” in a final triumphant manner. God prepared “laughter” (צְחֹק, tsekhoq) for her, and everyone who hears about this “will laugh” (יִצְחַק, yitskhaq) with her. The laughter now signals great joy and fulfillment, not unbelief (cf. Gen 18:12-15).
