OET interlinear NEH 13:20

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / doublet

הָ⁠רֹכְלִ֜ים וּ⁠מֹכְרֵ֧י כָל־מִמְכָּ֛ר

the,traders and_[the],sellers_of all (Some words not found in UHB: and,they_passed_the_night the,traders and_[the],sellers_of all merchandise from_[the],outside of,Jerusalem once and,two_[times] )

These two phrases mean similar things. You do not need to repeat both of them in your translation if that might be confusing for your readers. Alternate translation: [merchants who had goods for sale,] or [some traders and some merchants]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

וַ⁠יָּלִ֨ינוּ & מִ⁠ח֥וּץ לִ⁠ירוּשָׁלִָ֖ם

(Some words not found in UHB: and,they_passed_the_night the,traders and_[the],sellers_of all merchandise from_[the],outside of,Jerusalem once and,two_[times] )

Lodged means “spent the night.” The implication is that they wanted to start selling their goods first thing the next morning. If it would be helpful to your readers, you could say this explicitly. Alternate translation: [spent the night outside Jerusalem so they could start selling their goods first thing the next morning]

פַּ֥עַם וּ⁠שְׁתָּֽיִם

(Some words not found in UHB: and,they_passed_the_night the,traders and_[the],sellers_of all merchandise from_[the],outside of,Jerusalem once and,two_[times] )

Alternate translation: [once or twice]
