Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / parallelism

וְ⁠קֹ֨ר וָ⁠חֹ֜ם

and,cold and,heat

These terms form a parallelism with summer and winter. If possible, it is best to keep both parts of the parallelism in your translation since each part has a different emphasis. Alternate translation: [cold season and hot season]

וְ⁠קַ֧יִץ וָ⁠חֹ֛רֶף

and,summer and,winter

The seasons of summer and winter may be described differently depending on which part of the world your language area is located in. For example, some translations might use the terms “dry season” and “wet season,” depending on what best corresponds to summer and winter in that area.

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / infostructure

לֹ֥א יִשְׁבֹּֽתוּ

not (Some words not found in UHB: as_long_as all/each/any/every days_of the=earth/land seed/offspring and,harvest and,cold and,heat and,summer and,winter and,day and,night not cease )

It may be more natural to change the order of this sentence and say, “As long as the earth exists, each year there will always be a season to plant seeds and a time to harvest crops, as well as cold weather and hot weather, winter and summer, and day and night.” Alternate translation: [will never stop] or [will always continue to occur each year]
