Here we go again. We know that Avraham had no such doubts because
G-d warned Avimelech in a dream not to touch her, telling him that
Avraham was a prophet, and therefore he knew that she had not been
touched.

I am not insisting that Abimelech touched Sarah. What I am insisting,
rather, is that the received text strongly suggests that Abraham
himself had some
real doubts about IsaacÄôs biological paternity for many years.
Eventually those
doubts are resolved to everyoneÄôs satisfaction and great relief, but not
immediately.
