'Merchants' in the Bible

Next to him, Malchijah, one of the goldsmiths, carried on repairs up to the house of the Temple Servants and the merchants, up to the Muster Gate as far as the ascent to the corner.

Between the ascent of the corner and the Sheep Gate, the goldsmiths and merchants carried on repairs.

As a result, the merchants and sellers of all sorts of goods remained outside Jerusalem a couple of times.
