Bede, on Gen 21:3
Bede · A.D. 673–735
Gen 21:3 · Douay-Rheims
“And Abraham called the name of his son, whom Sara bore him, Isaac.”
On this verse:
“And Abraham called the name of his son whom Sarah bore to him Isaac. Isaac is interpreted as Laughter or Joy, which very name is fitting for all the faithful, to whom among other goods of the heavenly inheritance, their Redeemer promises by saying: "Again I will see you, and your heart will rejoice, and your joy no one will take from you" (John XVI, 1).”
