Quest. How could she be so fair, when she was above sixty years old? Answ. She was so both comparatively to the Egyptians, and simply in herself, and that might be from divers causes:
1. From the greater vigour of nature in that age of the world.
2. Because her beauty was not diminished by child-bearing.
3. From God's singular providence, ordering it thus for Abram's trial, and for the manifestation of his special providence watching over him and his.
