Abstract

The article reflects on joy and laughter as depicted in the book of Genesis. It cites that the second syllable of the name of Abraham's son Yitzhak or Itzhak is pronounced chock or chuck in English. It notes that there is deliberate echoing of the sound of laughter throughout several chapters in the Hebrew text of Genesis. Also cited are several biblical passages which substitute the English name Chuck for Isaac and the word chuckle for laugh.
