וַאֲדַבְּרָ֣ה אַךְ הַפַּ֔עַם
and,speak only the=time//this_time
Alternate translation: “rather, let me say one more thing:” or “and let me ask you just one more thing”

Alternate translation: “And Yahweh replied,” or “He answered him,”

Consider again how you translated this phrase in verses 24, 26, 29, 31, 32. Alternate translation: “because of”
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / ellipsis
הָעֲשָׂרָֽה
