Exegesis
The locative phrase bearei hammivtzar {בְּעָרֵי הַמִּבְצָר | bə-ʿā-rê ham-miv-ṣār} ‘in the fortress cities’ specifies the setting, and bekhol yehudah {בְּכָל־יְהוּדָה | bə-ḵōl yə-hū-dāh} ‘throughout all Judah’ defines the geographical scope. English renders the Hebrew verbless clause with “These were,” supplying a finite verb to satisfy English syntax while preserving the participial nuance.
Root and etymology
