OET interlinear NEH 11:4

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: writing-background

וּ⁠בִֽ⁠ירוּשָׁלִַ֨ם֙

and,in/on/at/with,Jerusalem

This sentence provides further information about the situation the book is describing here. In addition to the people who were living in various other cities and towns in the province of Judah, there were other people already living in Jerusalem. So the city was not empty, but it did need to be more fully populated. You could use a word like “moreover” to show that this is further background information.
