וַיֵּ֣אָמַ֔ר לְמֶ֥לֶךְ יְרִיח֖וֹ
and,told to,king Yərīḩō/(Jericho)
If your language does not use the passive form in this way, you can state this in active form or in another way that is natural in your language. If you must state who did the action, the context does not indicate who did it but it can be implied that it was a person. Alternate translation: “And someone said to the king of Jericho”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / gendernotations
מִבְּנֵ֥י יִשְׂרָאֵ֖ל

Although the term sons is masculine, the person speaking to the king is using the word here in a generic sense that includes both men and women. The word sons here, refers to both men and women who are descendants of Israel. Alternate translation: “from the descendants of Israel”
