This phrase introduces the first half of the story of Jonah. This is a common way of beginning a historical story about a prophet. Use a word, phrase, or other method in your language that is natural for introducing a new event. The repetition of this same phrase introduces the second half of the story (3:1).

and=he/it_was word/matter_of YHWH
This is an idiom meaning that Yahweh spoke or communicated his message in some way.
