2205. Verse 13 And Jehovah said to Abraham, Why did Sarah laugh, saying, Shall I really, in truth, bear a child, and I have grown old?

'Jehovah said to Abraham' means the Lord's perception from the Divine. 'Why did Sarah laugh?' means the thought of rational truth from the affection for it. 'Shall I really, in truth, bear a child' means its amazement that the rational was to become Divine. 'And I have grown old' means after it was no longer of such a nature.
