Conjunction وَ (and)
وَلَمَّا (And when) starts with وَ, the most common Arabic word — it means "and".
We add "and" to connect this to what came before.
Sahih International
And when he came to the water [i.e., well] of Madyan, he found there a crowd of people watering [their flocks], and he found aside from them two women holding back [their flocks]. He said, "What is your circumstance?" They said, "We do not water until the shepherds dispatch [their flocks]; and our father is an old man."
