Exegesis
The distributive uvkhol shaarei Yerushalayim {וּבְכֹל שַׁעֲרֵי יְרוּשָׁלָיִם | û-və-ḵôl ša-‘ă-rê Yə-rû-šā-lā-yim} extends the directive to all city gates. Rendering the infinitive absolute plus perfect as coordinated imperatives preserves Hebrew intensity, and the English sequence mirrors the stepwise expansion from a principal gate to all gates.
