Exegesis
Two construct phrases, battei Yerushalaim {בָּתֵּ֣י יְרוּשָׁלִַ֗ם | bat-tê yə-rû-šā-la-im} and ubattei malchei Yehudah {וּבָתֵּי֙ מַלְכֵ֣י יְהוּדָ֔ה | û-bat-tê mal-kê yə-hū-ḏāh}, establish possession.
In context — Jeremiah 19:13
The houses of Jerusalem and the houses of the kings of Judah — all the houses on whose roofs they burned incense to the host of the heavens, and poured out drink offerings to other gods — will be defiled like the place of Topheth.
