Exegesis
The participle hanolad lo {הַנּוֹלַד־לוֹ | han-nô-lāḏ-lô} adjectives the son as “the one born to him,” and the relative clause asher yaldah lo Sarah {אֲשֶׁר־יָלְדָה־לוֹ שָׂרָה | ʾă-šer-yā-lə-ḏāh-lô śā-rāh} specifies Sarah’s role. This double reference to paternal and maternal birth underscores legal descent and promise fulfillment.
