Rashi, on Gen 18:13
Rashi · 1040–1105
Gen 18:13 · Douay-Rheims
“And the Lord said to Abraham: Why did Sara laugh, saying: Shall I who am an old woman bear a child indeed?”
On this verse:
“האף אמנם means SHALL I REALLY BEAR? ואני זקנתי I BEING OLD — Scripture (God) in relating her words to her husband alters them for the sake of peace, for she had said (v. 12) “my lord is old” (Genesis Rabbah 48:18).”
