Exegesis
The temporal phrase le-miyom alot {לְמִיּוֹם עֲלוֹת | lə-mî-yōm ʿă-lōṯ} ‘from the day of going up’ specifies chronology, with the construct benei-yisra’el {בְּנֵי־יִשְׂרָאֵל | bə-nê-yî-yis-rā-’ēl} linking group and origin.
In context — Judges 19:30
And it came to pass that everyone who saw it said, “Nothing like this has ever happened or been seen since the day the sons of Israel went up from the land of Egypt until this day. Give careful counsel , and speak out.”
