וָאַעֲמִ֨יד מִֽתַּחְתִּיּ֜וֹת לַמָּק֗וֹם מֵאַחֲרֵי֙ לַחוֹמָ֔ה בַּצְּחִיחִ֖ים וָאַֽעֲמִ֣יד אֶת הָעָ֑ם לְמִשְׁפָּח֣וֹת עִם חַרְבוֹתֵיהֶ֔ם רָמְחֵיהֶ֖ם וְקַשְּׁתֹתֵיהֶֽם׃
vaʾaʿamiyd mitaḥtiyvot lamaqvom meʾaḥarey laḥvomah baṣḥiyḥiym vaʾaʿamiyd ʾet haʿam lmishpaḥvot ʿim ḥarbvoteyhem ramḥeyhem vqashtoteyhem
King James Version (KJV)

Therefore set I in the lower places behind the wall, and on the higher places, I even set the people after their families with their swords, their spears, and their bows.

Modern English

So in the lowest parts of the space behind the wall, in open places, I stationed the people by their clans, with their swords, their spears, and their bows.
