Bible Question: Is Sarah's question about sex in old age? |
Bible Answer: deeperlifenotts Sarah is 89 and Abraham 99 at this time. Sarah had been barren all her life. On top of that by this age she would have gone though menopause. What she was questioning was how could this happen. In other words to her it was impossible. I think she laughed thinking the person talking couldn't possibly be serious. However when the Lord confronted her she realize not only was He serious He was capable of making this happen. EdB |
