Exegesis
The object phrase ten Iericho {τὴν Ἰεριχώ | tḕn Iērikhṓ} uses the accusative article before an indeclinable proper noun, treating ‘Jericho’ as a definite place and marking it clearly as the scope of His movement. English does not replicate the participial structure as compactly, so the aorist participle is rendered with a temporal clause (“when He had entered / as He entered”) to preserve the sequence, while the imperfect is expressed with a durative form (“was passing through” / “continued traveling through”) to maintain the sense of ongoing travel.
Root and etymology
yerikhoyod–resh–yod–chet–vav
“fragrant place”
In context — Luke 19:1
And when He had entered, He was passing through Jericho.
