UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

עָרִ֧ים בְּצֻר֛וֹת

cities fortified

The implication is that these cities were fortified, so they were hard to access. The walls, gates, and bars protected the city from attack. You could include this information if that would be helpful to your readers. Alternate translation: “were cities fortified”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / hendiadys

דְּלָתַ֣יִם וּ⁠בְרִ֑יחַ

gates and,bars

This phrase expresses a single idea by using two words connected with and. The word bars tells what the gates were like. The city walls had gates with metal bars across them to keep enemies from coming in the cities. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express this meaning with an equivalent phrase that does not use and. Alternate translation: “that had barred gates”
