וְאֶת־בְּכֹר֤וֹת בָּנֵ֨ינוּ֙ וּבְהֶמְתֵּ֔ינוּ & וְאֶת־בְּכוֹרֵ֨י בְקָרֵ֜ינוּ וְצֹאנֵ֗ינוּ לְהָבִיא֙ לְבֵ֣ית אֱלֹהֵ֔ינוּ

Firstborn means specifically the firstborn male offspring in every case, as the law specifies. If it would be helpful to your readers, you could explain that the law required the Israelites to bring the firstborn males from their families to the temple for a different reason than the reason for which it required them to bring the firstborn males from among their domesticated animals. Alternate translation: “We promise to bring our firstborn sons to the temple to dedicate them to God, and we promise to bring the first male offspring of all of our animals to the temple so that the priests can offer them to God as sacrifices”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive
כַּכָּת֖וּב בַּתּוֹרָ֑ה
(Some words not found in UHB: and,to,bring DOM first_fruits_of ground_of,our and,first_fruits_of all/each/any/every fruit(sg) all tree/word year in=year to,house_of YHWH )
If it would be helpful in your language, you could say this with an active form. Alternate translation: “as the law commands”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
לְבֵ֣ית אֱלֹהֵ֔ינוּ & בְּבֵ֥ית אֱלֹהֵֽינוּ
(Some words not found in UHB: and,to,bring DOM first_fruits_of ground_of,our and,first_fruits_of all/each/any/every fruit(sg) all tree/word year in=year to,house_of YHWH )
The covenant continues to speak of the temple as the house of God, as if it were God’s dwelling place. Alternate translation: “the temple”
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / doublet
לַכֹּ֣הֲנִ֔ים הַמְשָׁרְתִ֖ים בְּבֵ֥ית אֱלֹהֵֽינוּ
(Some words not found in UHB: and,to,bring DOM first_fruits_of ground_of,our and,first_fruits_of all/each/any/every fruit(sg) all tree/word year in=year to,house_of YHWH )
These two phrases mean the same thing. The covenant uses the repetition for clarity. If it would be helpful in your language, you could combine these phrases. Alternate translation: “the priests who serve in the temple”
10:30-39 Although the community had committed itself broadly to all the instructions in the law of Moses, some specific issues were being addressed in this commitment. These issues related to maintaining the purity of the community and worship at the Temple.

Note: The OET-RV is still only a first draft, and so far only a few words have been (mostly automatically) matched to the Hebrew or Greek words that they’re translated from.
