Exegesis
Livnei Yehudah {לִבְנֵ֥י יְהוּדָ֖ה | li-və-nê yə-hū-dāh} ‘to the children of Judah’ and u-vi-Yerushalayim {וּבִירוּשָׁלָֽ͏ִם | u-vî-rū-šā-lā-yim} ‘and in Jerusalem’ broaden the audience and location. The Hebrew construct chains and participial sequence require English relational smoothing, preserving emphasis on the merchants’ routine defilement of sacred time.
In context — Nehemiah 13:16
And the Tyrians lived there, bringing in fish and all kinds of merchandise, and they were selling on the Sabbath to the children of Judah and in Jerusalem.
