Exegesis
The prepositional phrase en to ethnei mou {ἐν τῷ ἔθνει μου | en tôi éth-nei mou} locates this life “in my nation,” likely meaning among his own Jewish people, while the coordinated phrase en te Hierosolymois {ἔν τε Ἱεροσολύμοις | én te Hi-e-ro-so-lý-moi} adds “and in Jerusalem,” using te to bind the two locations together and emphasize both broader ethnic context and specific sacred city.
In context — Acts 26:4
So then, all the Jews know my manner of life from my youth, which from the beginning took place among my nation and in Jerusalem.
