Genesis 17:17
40 | sn Laughed. The Hebrew verb used here provides the basis for the naming of Isaac: “And he laughed” is וַיִּצְחָק (vayyitskhaq); the name “Isaac” is יִצְחָק (yitskhaq), “he laughs.” Abraham’s (and Sarah’s, see 18:12) laughter signals disbelief, but when the boy is born, the laughter signals surprise and joy. |
41 | tn Heb “And he fell on his face and laughed and said in his heart.” |
42 | tn The imperfect verbal form here carries a potential nuance, as it expresses the disbelief of Abraham. |
43 | tn Heb “to the son of a hundred years.” |
44 | |
45 | tn Heb “the daughter of ninety years.” |
