Genesis 18:13
βAnd the Lord said unto Abraham, Wherefore did Sarah laugh, saying, Shall I of a surety bear a child, which am old?β
KJV
Read in Genesis 18Meaning
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.
