Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy
בְּנֵ֣י לֵוִ֔י
sons_of Lēvī
Here, the sons of Levi refers specifically to the male descendants of Levi. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “the male descendants of Levi”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy
לְבֵ֥ית אֲבֹתָ֖ם לְמִשְׁפְּחֹתָ֑ם
by,houses_of ancestral_of,their to=their=clans
See how you translated these clauses in [1:2](../01/02.md).
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / explicitinfo
תִּפְקְדֵֽם
count,them
Since this clause is repeated from the previous sentence, the expression here is extra information that would be unnatural to express in some languages. If this is true of your language, you could remove the expression here and combine this sentence with the previous sentence.
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom
כָּל־זָכָ֛ר מִבֶּן־חֹ֥דֶשׁ וָמַ֖עְלָה
all/each/any/every male from,son_of month and,more,
See how you translated the similar clause in [1:20](../01/20.md).
3:14-39 This first phase of a two-stage registration of the tribe of Levi (see 4:34-49 for stage two) summarized each family group’s special responsibilities (described in greater detail in 4:1-33). This numbering was not linked with military duties, so it enrolled male Levites from the age of one month (3:40-41).
• Three family groups are descended from Gershon, Kohath, and Merari, the three sons of Levi. These clans (often called the Gershonites, Kohathites, and Merarites) later inherited the “cities of refuge” (Josh 21) and filled various important posts in the Jerusalem Temple (2 Chr 29:3-17).

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.
