לִ⁠פְנֵ֣י & לִ⁠פְנֵי֩

to=(the)_face_of/in_front_of/before the,tabernacle east,on to=(the)_face_of/in_front_of/before tent/house meeting sunrise,toward

These two clauses mean basically the same thing. Moses is using the two clauses together for emphasize that the descendants of Moses and Aaron camped in an honored place nearest to the Dwelling. If it would be helpful to your readers, you could combine the phrases and express the emphasis in another way. Alternate translation: “nearest to the front of the eastern side of the tent of meeting”
