Exegesis

The subsequent vav-consecutive verb vayavo'u {וַיָּבֹ֧אוּ | way·yā·bō·ʾû} ‘and they came’ continues the temporal chain, followed by the construct chain bnei-yisrael {בְנֵֽי־יִשְׂרָאֵ֛ל | bə·nē·y yiś·rā·ʾēl} ‘sons of Israel’.

In context — Numbers 20:22

And they journeyed from Kadesh, and the sons of Israel —all the congregation —came to Mount Hor.
