Conditional (if/when)
وَلَوْ (And if) introduces a condition — "if this happens, then that happens".
We translate it as "if" or "when".

Sahih International

And if We had decreed upon them, "Kill yourselves" or "Leave your homes," they would not have done it, except for a few of them. But if they had done what they were instructed, it would have been better for them and a firmer position [for them in faith].
