AND THE ETERNAL ‘PAKAD’ (VISITED) SARAH AS HE HAD SAID. That is, by granting her pregnancy. And the Eternal did unto Sarah as He had spoken by granting her the birth of a son..Thus the words of Rashi.
But the word pekidah is only an expression of remembrance and attention to the one who is remembered, such as: G-d will surely remember (‘pakod yiphkod’) you;312Further, 50:25. I have surely remembered you;313Exodus 3:16. And Samson remembered his wife by [bringing her] a kid.314Judges 15:1. Here, too, the sense of the verse is that the Eternal remembered Sarah, and He did to her as He had spoken. This expression is also found in connection with all barren women who later give birth. Thus, in the case of Rachel: And G-d remembered Rachel;315Further, 30:22. and in the case of Hannah: And G-d remembered her.316I Samuel 1:19. Similarly, the Rabb is said,317Rosh Hashanah 32b. “Biblical verses which mention pikdonoth are equivalent to verses which mention Divine remembrances.”318In the Additional Service of the New Year day, ten Biblical verses which speak of Divine remembrance are recited. A verse mentioning pikadon is treated as one mentioning remembrance. Thus, Ramban proves that the word pakad in the verse here can mean “remembered,” and not as Rashi explained it as meaning “granting pregnancy.”

The first question is about the repetition, "And the Lord took account of Sarah as He had said, and the Lord did to Sarah as He had spoken" (Genesis 21:1). And Rashi explained (Rashi on Genesis 21:1) [that] "He took account of Sarah as He had said," is about the conception; and "the Lord did to Sarah," is about the birth. But this is not correct; as once He informed her, it is [already] known that she would give birth. And the Ramban wrote that the content of, "take account (pakad)," is remembered, and that it is an expression that is common with barren women - as it is written (Genesis 30:22), "And God remembered Rachel"; and, with Channah, "and the Lord remembered her" (I Samuel 1:19). And this too is not correct. For Sarah was not forgotten, that it should be required to say about her that He remembered her. As behold, the angel had made knows that she would give birth and specified a time limit when she would give birth. And as a result, there was no forgetting about her. Moreover, the content of the expression, (pakad), is not, remembered. And the testimony [about this] is, "I have surely taken account of (pekod pakadati) you and that which is being done to you in Egypt" (Exodus 3:16). But they had not been forgotten there; and all the more so is forgetting not relevant to that which was done to them everyday!
Ramban
AND JACOB’s ANGER WAS KINDLED. It is not in the power of the righteous that their prayer be heard and answered in any case, and because she spoke in the manner of yearning women who are loved, thus attempting to frighten him with her death, his anger was kindled. Therefore, he said to her that he is not in G-d’s stead that he should remember the barren ones by giving them children in any case, and he does not care about it since it is from her that children were withheld and not from him. He said this in order to admonish her and shame her. Now the righteous woman Rachel, seeing that she could not rely upon Jacob’s prayer, then went to pray on her own behalf to Him Who hears the cry of those in trouble. This is the sense of the verse, And G-d hearkened to her.106Further, Verse 22.
Perhaps we can rectify Jacob’s retort in consonance with the opinion of our Rabbis [who related that Jacob said to Rachel, “It is from you that He has withheld children and not from me,”] for it is impossible to think that Jacob did not pray on behalf of his beloved wife who was barren, however his prayer was not accepted.
Now Rachel came to him with a pretext saying that he should, in any case, give her children through his prayer for he is not of less stature than his father who did so. At this, his anger was kindled and he said to her that the matter is up to G-d and not to him, and that his father’s prayer was heard because he was a righteous man and was destined to have children, but here it is from her that He has withheld children. This is a correct interpretation.
