Exegesis
The first spatial phrase en tō hierō {ἐν τῷ ἱερῷ | en tôi hierō̂} marks the broader temple precincts, while the second en tē stoā tou Solomōnos {ἐν τῇ στοᾷ τοῦ Σολομῶνος | en tē̂ stoā̂ tou Solomônos} narrows the setting to a specific covered walkway. The repeated en with successive dative phrases builds a broad-to-specific spatial frame, so the English rendering preserves both locations rather than collapsing them into one.
Root and etymology
