[Avodah] VAYERA ? WHO IS HKBH TALKING TO?

Furthermore, HKBH is transgressing Lashon Hara by disclosing to Avraham
that Sara laughed.

It is pretty clear that Sara's indiscretion was disclosed to Avraham
because it was necessary for AAvinu to know, as we see, he rebuked Sara
for laughing.

Avraham was responsible for this shortcoming of Sara - this properly
explains all these Qs

HKBH expected Avraham to respond as he did.

The question is really an indictment of sorts.

Avraham is blamed for Sara's indiscretion?

Therefore, Avraham confronts [18:19] Sara.

And when Sara denies it, Avraham rebukes her. It is Avraham's
responsibility to ensure she confesses.

Best,
Meir G. Rabi
