Exegesis
The final clause u-le-Sarah ben {וּלְשָׂרָה בֵן | û-lə-śā-rāh bēn} designates Sarah as the recipient and ben as the thematic focus, highlighting the promised heir. English rendering preserves the rhetorical question and sequential temporal progression, reflecting the Hebrew discourse structure.
In context — Genesis 18:14
Is anything too extraordinary for the LORD ? At the appointed time I will return to you, at the time of life, and Sarah will have a son.
