Kejadian 21:6

21:6 Sarah said, “God has made me laugh. ¹  Everyone who hears about this ²  will laugh ³  with me.”

Mazmur 98:4

98:4 Shout out praises to the Lord, all the earth!

Break out in a joyful shout and sing!

Yesaya 24:14

24:14 They ⁴  lift their voices and shout joyfully;

they praise ⁵  the majesty of the Lord in the west.

[21:6]  ¹ tn Heb “Laughter God has made for me.”

[21:6]  ² tn The words “about this” are supplied in the translation for clarification.

[21:6]  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).

[24:14]  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.

[24:14]  ⁵ tn Heb “they yell out concerning.”
