Genesis 18:15

וַ תְּכַחֵשׁ שָׂרָה לֵ אמֹר לֹא צָחַקְתִּי כִּי יָרֵאָה וַ יֹּאמֶר לֹא כִּי צָחָקְתְּ

And ContentiousWoman is lying,642 to say, `I have not laughed;` for she has feared. And he is saying, `Nay, for you have laughed.`


642

Strong’s #3584, kachash. To be untrue, in word (to lie, feign, disown) or deed, to pretend. As in bearing false witness. Deception is implied but it is not the same as that used of the Woman, “the Serpent deceived (#5377) me and I am eating.” Used elsewhere, “Say to elohim, how fearsome your works, in a multitude of your might your adversaries are lying to you.” Ps. 66:3 literal.
