עוֹד H5750
still, yet, again, more, besides; continuance or repetition of action or state — also 'another, else' and temporal 'while yet'
A versatile adverb built on the idea of ongoing continuance, 'od functions as the Hebrew workhorse for expressing persistence ('still, yet'), recurrence ('again, once more'), and addition ('besides, further'). With pronominal suffixes it forms compact temporal clauses — 'while he was still speaking' — that English requires a full subordinate clause to render. Its range from temporal duration to the existential assertion 'there is no other' (Deut 4:35) reveals how Hebrew collapses time and identity into a single particle of continuation.
6. sense 6 — A rare specialized sense, possibly 'continually' or 'evermore,' attested once in Psalm 84:4 where those who dwell in God's house are 'still praising' him. English 'continually,' Spanish aún, and French encore suggest unbroken duration rather than repetition — a liturgical intensification of the basic continuative meaning. 1×

1. again, more, further — Repetitive or additive adverb: 'again, once more, anymore, further.' Spanish otra-vez/más, French de-nouveau/plus, and German abermals/ferner all cluster around recurrence and augmentation. Genesis 8:21 (the LORD said, 'I will never again curse the ground') and Genesis 9:11 (never again shall all flesh be cut off) show the particle in oath-bound negation of future repetition. 288×

2. still, yet (continuative) — Continuative adverb: 'still, yet,' indicating an ongoing state. Spanish todavía, French encore, and German noch uniformly convey persistence through time. Genesis 7:4 ('in yet seven days') and Genesis 29:7 ('it is still high day') illustrate temporal continuation, while the suffixed forms (odennu, 'while he was still') create compact simultaneity clauses as in Genesis 18:22. 166×

3. while still (temporal with בְּ) — Temporal adverb with the preposition be: 'while still, while yet,' forming a temporal subordinate clause. German als-noch and French pendant-que-cependant confirm the subordinating function. Genesis 25:6 (while Abraham was still living) and Genesis 48:7 (while there was still some distance to Ephrath) anchor this prepositional construction in narrative time-setting. 18×

4. another, other, else — Substantival or adjectival use meaning 'another, other, else,' especially in theological declarations of divine uniqueness.

Spanish otro, French un-autre, and German ein-anderer confirm the pronominal shift from temporal to existential scope. 13×
