The Lord Will

Genesis 18:13

β€œAnd the Lord said unto Abraham, Wherefore did Sarah laugh, saying, Shall I of a surety bear a child, which am old?”

KJV

Read in Genesis 18

Meaning

The LORD asks Abraham why Sarah laughed and questioned whether she could truly bear a child in old age.

Read carefully

The question exposes the issue for the narrative; it is not evidence of divine ignorance about a reaction already presented as known.

Reflection

The verse moves private doubt into dialogue and prepares the chapter's explicit statement about divine capability.
