Genesis 18:13 Meaning and Commentary

Genesis 18:13

And the Lord said unto Abraham
This discovers who the person was that had been conversing with Abraham, that he was a divine Person, as appears by his name "Jehovah", as well as by his knowledge of Sarah's behaviour; he did not turn himself to her, that it might be more manifest that it was not upon the sight of her he judged she laughed, but from his own omniscience; and he chose rather to speak to her husband than to her, appearing as a stranger, and that he might reprove her: wherefore did Sarah laugh, saying, shall I of a surety bear a child,
which am old?
suggesting there was no reason for it, and signifying his displeasure and indignation at it.

Genesis 18:13 In-Context

11 Abraham and Sarah were old. Sarah was past the age of childbearing.

12 And so Sarah laughed to herself, thinking, "Now that I've become old, will I enjoy myself again? What's more, my husband is old!"

13 The LORD asked Abraham, "Why did Sarah laugh and say, 'Can I really have a child now that I'm old?'

14 Is anything too hard for the LORD? I will come back to you next year at this time, and Sarah will have a son."

15 Because she was afraid, Sarah denied that she had laughed. But the LORD said, "Yes, you did laugh."
