Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / possession

שֶׁ֤מֶן הַ⁠מָּאוֹר֙

oil_of the=luminary

Here Yahweh is using the possessive form to describe the oil as oil that produces light. If a speaker of your language would not use the possessive form for this, you could express this idea in another way. Alternate translation: [the oil that is burned to produce light]

וּ⁠קְטֹ֣רֶת הַ⁠סַּמִּ֔ים

and,the_incense_of of,the_perfume(s)

The phrase the grain offering of continuity refers to a grain offering that is characterized by continuity—it was offered regularly.

פְּקֻדַּ֗ת כָּל־הַ⁠מִּשְׁכָּן֙

וְ⁠כָל־אֲשֶׁר־בּ֔⁠וֹ בְּ⁠קֹ֖דֶשׁ וּ⁠בְ⁠כֵלָֽי⁠ו

The implication is that this refers to everything that is contained in the Dwelling, holy place, and vessels. You could include this information if that would be helpful to your readers. Alternate translation: [and everything that is in it, and everything that is in the holy place, and everything that is in its vessels]

Note 9 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

בְּ⁠קֹ֖דֶשׁ

with_[the],holy_place

Here, holy place represents the things that belong in the holy place. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use an equivalent expression or plain language. See how you translated the similar phrase in [4:15](../04/15.md). Alternate translation: [in the things that belong in the holy place]
