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 very old. Since Sarah was past the age when women normally have children,

12 she laughed to herself, "My husband and I are too old to have a baby."

13 Then the Lord said to Abraham, "Why did Sarah laugh? Why did she say, 'I am too old to have a baby'?

14 Is anything too hard for the Lord? No! I will return to you at the right time a year from now, and Sarah will have a son."

15 Sarah was afraid, so she lied and said, "I didn't laugh." But the Lord said, "No. You did laugh."
