| Jun 2, 2014 at 19:55 | comment | added | Shmuel | @BabySeal I'm not assuming the word means laugh. I'm asking what the verse means that would prompt Sarah's actions. If one can explain the verse with laugh, great. Otherwise, what does צחק mean in context | |

| Jun 2, 2014 at 13:33 | comment | added | Baby Seal | Shmuel, are you looking for understandings of the verse, assuming that that word just means laugh? If so, I think that could be made more clear in the question. | |

| Jun 2, 2014 at 11:00 | comment | added | ray | just before that in genesis 18:2 it says "So Sarah laughed to herself as she thought". so clearly the plain meaning of the word is laughter. Rashi in the verse you quoted brings down the oral law which takes it out of the plain meaning. | |

| Jun 1, 2014 at 14:08 | comment | added | הנער הזה | If you can access the articles there I'd suggest reading them. Note Rashi/Chazal, who show that the word often does refer to more sinister activities than laughing or making sport | |
| Jun 1, 2014 at 8:14 | comment | added | Shmuel | @Matt - RE: Yishmael's 'playing' should be understood in the same way, namely, that an ancient reader would not have been puzzled by this use of the word 'metzchek'. Would you mind expanding on how an ancient reader would understand it? Would they understand it like Rashi, or in a different manner (and if so, in a way that deserved banishment)? | |
