Genesis 17:19

And God said to Abraham: *Sara thy wife shall bear thee a son, and thou shalt call his name Isaac, and I will establish my covenant with him for a perpetual covenant, and with his seed after him.

Genesis 18:10.; Genesis 21:2.

Isaac, "laughter," alluding to the exultation of Abraham, more than to the laughter of Sara, which deserved some reprehension, Genesis 21:6.
