21:6 Sarah said, “God has made me laugh. 1 Everyone who hears about this 2 will laugh 3 with me.”
98:4 Shout out praises to the Lord, all the earth!
Break out in a joyful shout and sing!
24:14 They 4 lift their voices and shout joyfully;
they praise 5 the majesty of the Lord in the west.
1 tn Heb “Laughter God has made for me.”
2 tn The words “about this” are supplied in the translation for clarification.
3 sn Sarah’s words play on the name “Isaac” in a final triumphant manner. God prepared “laughter” (צְחֹק, ysÿkhoq ) 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).
4 sn The remnant of the nations (see v. 13) may be the unspecified subject. If so, then those who have survived the judgment begin to praise God.
5 tn Heb “they yell out concerning.”
