Genesi 18:14 Meaning and Commentary

Genesis 18:14

Is anything too hard for the Lord?
&c.] Whose power is infinite; or "too wonderful" F24, so wonderful and beyond all belief, that it can never be thought it will be done by him; and why then should it be thought incredible or impossible that Sarah should have a child, though she is old? Or, is "anything hidden from the Lord" F25? Nothing can be, not Sarah's laughter. At the time appointed will I return to thee, according to the time of
life, and Sarah shall have a son;
which words are repeated not merely for the confirmation of Abraham's faith, which staggered not, but to remove Sarah's unbelief, and to encourage her faith in the divine promise.

Genesi 18:14 In-Context

12 E Sara rise dentro di sé, dicendo: "Vecchia come sono, avrei io tali piaceri? e anche il mio signore è vecchio!"
13 E l’Eterno disse ad Abrahamo: "Perché mai ha riso Sara, dicendo: Partorirei io per davvero, vecchia come sono?
14 V’ha egli cosa che sia troppo difficile per l’Eterno? Al tempo fissato, fra un anno, tornerò, e Sara avrà un figliuolo".
15 Allora Sara negò, dicendo: "Non ho riso"; perch’ebbe paura. Ma egli disse: "Invece, hai riso!"
16 Poi quegli uomini s’alzarono e volsero gli sguardi verso Sodoma; e Abrahamo andava con loro per accomiatarli.
