Genesis21:6
6 And Sarah said, God hath made me to laugh , so that all that hear will laugh with me .
(i. e.) Before my own distrustful Heart made me to laugh, now God makes me laugh, not through diffidence and irreverence, as before, chap. 18. 12. but through excess of holy joy.
Or, At me, some through sympathy rejoycing with me and for me, laughter being oft put for joy, as Isa. 54. 1. Gal. 4. 27. &c. others through scorn and derision, as at a thing which well may seem incredible to them, because it did so to me. See Gen. 17. 17. and 18. 12, 13, 15.
