“For Sarah conceived, and bare Abraham a son in his old age, at the set time of which God had spoken to him.”
Sarah becomes pregnant and bears a son to Abraham in his old age, at the very time God had said. The phrase at the very time is the narrator's theological emphasis — not approximately when, not eventually, but at the exact time specified in Genesis 17:21 and 18:10. Hebrews 10:23 declares that he who promised is faithful. The application: when God keeps a promise, he keeps it with the specificity of the promise. Hold what God has said with that same exactness.
