Exegesis
The opening waw plus ve-khol {וְכֹ֣ל | vē-khōl} ‘and all’ combines with the construct beneī yiś-rā’ēl {בְּנֵ֣י יִשְׂרָאֵ֗ל | bə-nē yiś-rā-ˀēl} and the participle rō-’īm {רֹאִים֙ | rō-’īm} ‘seeing’, setting a collective frame.
In context — 2 Chronicles 7:3
And all the sons of Israel saw the fire descending and the glory of the LORD upon the house. And they knelt with their faces to the ground upon the pavement and prostrated themselves and gave thanks to the LORD, saying, “For He is good ; for His steadfast love endures forever.”
