GENESIS | 18:13 old — GEN953 One should not repeat what one person said...

GEN953 One should not repeat what one person said about another if he spoke in even slightly insulting terms. Chofetz Chaim, Hilchos Rechilus 8:4 In Parshas Vayeira Sarah said: “How can I have children and my husband is an old man?” Hashem repeated her words to Avraham in the following way: Sarah said, “How can I have children and I am old?” Hashem changed her version because a husband could be sensitive to being referred to as an old man, even though only slight feelings of hurt are involved.
