Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom
כָּל־הָעֹבֵר֙ עַל־הַפְּקֻדִ֔ים
all/each/any/every the,crosses_over on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in the,registered
This is an idiom that suggests that the men were counted by walking past someone who was counting people as they walked by. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use an equivalent idiom or use plain language. Alternate translation: “Everyone counted”

The shekel and the gerah are units of weight. If it would be helpful to your readers, you could express this in terms of modern measurements, either in the text or a footnote.
Note 3 topic: translate-bmoney

The shekel was used as both a weight and a unit of money.
Note 4 topic: translate-fraction
מַחֲצִ֥ית & מַחֲצִ֣ית
half & half
A half means one part out of two equal parts.
בְּשֶׁ֣קֶל הַקֹּ֑דֶשׁ עֶשְׂרִ֤ים גֵּרָה֙ הַשֶּׁ֔קֶל
in/on/at/with,shekel the,sanctuary twenty gerahs the,shekel
There were evidently shekels of more than one weight at the time. This specified which one was to be used.

OET (OET-RV) As each man crosses over to stand with those who’ve been counted, he must pay give a half-shekel coin as an offering to me. (That’s half of the official shekel weight of 12 grams.)
Note: The OET-RV is still only a first draft, and so far only a few words have been (mostly automatically) matched to the Greek words that they’re translated from.
