Exegesis
The distributive sequence leir vair {לְעִיר וָעִיר | lə-ʿîr wā-ʿîr} ‘city by city’ underscores the comprehensive nature of the appointments. The English translations maintain the Hebrew’s distributive and territorial emphases by retaining “city by city” and differentiating between general land coverage and every fortified city.
In context — 2 Chronicles 19:5
He appointed judges in the land in every fortified city of Judah , city by city .
