Exegesis
The aggregate expression ve-khol-ha-am {וְכָל־הָעָ֔ם | wə-ḵōl-hā-ʿā-m} ‘and all the people’ assigns the remainder to chatserot beit YHWH {בְּחַצְר֖וֹת בֵּ֥ית יְהוָֽה | bə-ḥaṣ-ṣer-ôṯ bêṯ Yə-hō-wāh} ‘courtyards of the house of the LORD’. English rendering preserves distributive sense with repeated numerals and maintains articles to reflect specificity.
