Exegesis
The sequence ‘od {עוֹד | ʿôḏ} plus the infinitive ledabber {לְדַבֵּר | lə-dab-bēr} forms an idiomatic construction, “to continue to speak again,” highlighting Abraham’s persistence without breaking the respectful tone of the exchange.
In context — Genesis 18:29
And he continued speaking to Him , and said, “Perhaps forty might be found there.” And He said, “I will not do it for the sake of the forty.”
