Here, the word And indicates that the event the story will now relate came after the events it has just described. If it would be helpful in your language, you could show this relationship by using a word such as “Then.”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

sons_of Yisrael

Here, sons means “descendants.” Here the book envisions all of the Israelites as descendants of the patriarch Jacob, who was also known as Israel. The expression comprises the three groups that are listed next, the priests, Levites, and other Jews. Alternate translation: “the Israelites”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

וּ⁠שְׁאָ֣ר בְּנֵי־גָלוּתָ֗⁠א

As indicated in 2:1 and 8:35, the phrase the sons of the exile refers specifically to the group of Jewish people who returned to the land of Judah from Babylon after King Nebuchadnezzar had conquered Jerusalem and had taken many Jews as captives to Babylon.
