Exegesis
The early placement of li {לִי | lî} ‘to me’ foregrounds Abram’s personal stake before the negated perfect lo natatta {לֹא נָתַתָּה | lōʾ nāṯattā} ‘You have not given’, heightening emotional tension.
In context — Genesis 15:3
And Abram said, “Look, to me You have not given offspring , and look, a son of my household will inherit me.”
