Génesis 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.

Génesis 18:13 In-Context

11 Abraham y Sara eran ya bastante ancianos, y Sara ya había dejado de menstruar.
12 Por eso, Sara se rió y pensó: «¿Acaso voy a tener este placer, ahora que ya estoy consumida y mi esposo es tan viejo?»
13 Pero el SEÑOR le dijo a Abraham:—¿Por qué se ríe Sara? ¿No cree que podrá tener un hijo en su vejez?
14 ¿Acaso hay algo imposible para el SEÑOR? El año que viene volveré a visitarte en esta fecha, y para entonces Sara habrá tenido un hijo.
15 Sara, por su parte, tuvo miedo y mintió al decirle:—Yo no me estaba riendo.Pero el SEÑOR le replicó:—Sí te reíste.
