14 Abrahamo dunque si levò la mattina di buon’ora, prese del pane e un otre d’acqua, e lo diede ad Agar, mettendoglielo sulle spalle; le diede anche il fanciullo, e la mandò via. Ed essa partì e andò errando per il deserto di Beer-Sceba.

2640. 'God has made laughter for me' means the affection for celestial truth. This is clear from the meaning of 'laughter' as the affection for truth, dealt with in 2072, 2216, and from 'God making' as the celestial from which it springs.
