Exegesis
The verse opens with the nominal phrase uvenei Yisrael {וּבְנֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל | û-ḇə-nê yiś-rā-ʾēl}, where the conjunction vav links “sons of Israel” as the subject.
In context — Exodus 16:35
And the sons of Israel ate the manna for forty years until they came to a settled region ; they ate the manna until they came to the border of the land of Canaan.
