Exegesis
In that clause, ou pleious hemerai dōdeka {οὐ πλείους ἡμέραι δώδεκα | ou plei-ous hē-mé-rai dō-de-ka} serves as the subject-predicate structure, with the comparative pleious qualifying the numeral dōdeka to convey a strict limit.
The preposition eis {εἰς | eis} with Ierousalēm {Ἰερουσαλήμ | Ie-rou-sa-lḗm} specifies the destination. Together, the structures emphasize the briefness of the interval and the religious purpose to challenge the plausibility of the accusations.
In context — Acts 24:11
