Exegesis
A meristic sequence of spatial clauses—bachutz {בַּחוּץ | ba-ḥûṣ} ‘outside in the street’ and the parallel betoch rechovot {בְּתוֹךְ רְחֹבוֹת | bə-toḵ re-ḥô-vōṯ} ‘within the open squares’—escalates the sense of exposure in public venues.
In context — Proverbs 22:13
The sluggard says, “There is a lion outside; I will be slain in the open squares .”
