"at the time I appointed." The phrase "in the spring" clarifies what time it was that God appointed.
## Then Sarah denied it and said ##
"The Sarah denied it by saying"
## He replied ##
"Yahweh replied"
## No, you did laugh ##
This means "No, that is not true; you did in fact laugh." In some languages, it would be better to translate this as "Yes, you did laugh."
