Exegesis
The enumeration ʾat-tāʾ wa-ʿă-ḇā-ḏe-ḵā wə-ʿam-mə-ḵā {אַתָּה וַעֲבָדֶיךָ וְעַמְּךָ | ʾat-tāʾ wa-ʿă-ḇā-ḏe-ḵā wə-ʿam-mə-ḵā} extends the summons to the king, his servants, and his people, and the participial clause ha-bāʼîm baš-šə-ʿā-rîm hā-ʼēl-leh {הַבָּאִים בַּשְּׁעָרִים הָאֵלֶּה | ha-bāʼîm baš-šə-ʿā-rîm hā-ʼēl-leh} specifies those entering through the gates. The translation retains the hierarchical and cumulative structure of the Hebrew.
In context — Jeremiah 22:2
And you shall say, “Hear the word of the LORD , O king of Judah who sits upon the throne of David—you, your servants, and your people who enter through these gates.”
