Genesis 18:15
βThen Sarah denied, saying, I laughed not; for she was afraid. And he said, Nay; but thou didst laugh.β
KJV
Read in Genesis 18Meaning
Afraid, Sarah denies that she laughed, but the LORD directly answers that she did.
Read carefully
The brief correction should not be inflated into a complete judgment on Sarah's character; the larger story continues to center the promised birth through her.
Reflection
The scene ends with truthful correction rather than concealment, while the promise itself remains intact.
