Exegesis
The infinitive construct clause bevo benei yisrael {בְּבֹ֖א בְּנֵ֥י יִשְׂרָאֵֽל | bə-bōʾ bə-nê yiś-rā-ʾēl} functions as a temporal marker “at the coming of the sons of Israel,” rendered in English with a subordinate clause to preserve the Hebrew infinitive’s time nuance.
In context — Numbers 33:40
And the Canaanite king of Arad heard of the coming of the sons of Israel while he was dwelling in the Negev in the land of Canaan.
