Notes in Genesis Chapter Seventeen

Genesis 17:15-17 - And God said unto Abraham, As for Sarai thy wife, thou shalt not call her name Sarai, but Sarah shall her name be.  And I will bless her, and give thee a son also of her: yea, I will bless her, and she shall be a mother of nations; kings of people shall be of her.  Then Abraham fell upon his face, and laughed, and said in his heart, Shall a child be born unto him that is an hundred years old? and shall Sarah, that is ninety years old, bear?

Note: Abraham not completely doubting, for God renames Sarai to Sarah and Abraham immediately calls her Sarah: "shall Sarah, that is ninety years old, bear?"  Then Abraham obedient in verse 23 ff.
