NETBible

The Lord said to Abraham, “Why¹ did Sarah laugh and say, ‘Will I really² have a child when I am old?’

NET Notes

¹tn Heb “Why, this?” The demonstrative pronoun following the interrogative pronoun is enclitic, emphasizing the Lord’s amazement: “Why on earth did Sarah laugh?”

²tn The Hebrew construction uses both הַאַף (ha’af) and אֻמְנָם (’umnam): “Indeed, truly, will I have a child?”
