Gênesis 18:11 Meaning and Commentary

Genesis 18:11

Now Abraham and Sarah [were] old, [and] well stricken in
age
The one being ninety nine years of age, and the other eighty nine; and which is observed to make it the more surprising that they should have a son at such an age; and what follows still makes it more so: [and] it ceased to be with Sarah after the manner of women;
her monthly visitors had left her, so that she was unfit for conception, and there could be no hope of it in a natural way; though the philosopher F23 intimates, that there are some, that it is possible, may conceive without them.

10 Então disse oSENHOR: “Voltarei a você na primavera, e Sara, sua mulher, terá um filho”.Sara escutava à entrada da tenda, atrás dele.
11 Abraão e Sara já eram velhos, de idade bem avançada, e Sara já tinha passado da idade de ter filhos.
12 Por isso riu consigo mesma, quando pensou: “Depois de já estar velha e meu senhor já idoso, ainda terei esse prazer?”
13 Mas o SENHOR disse a Abraão: “Por que Sara riu e disse: ‘Poderei realmente dar à luz, agora que sou idosa?’
