OET (OET-RV) but take these precautions on their behalf so they won’t die when they approach the most sacred items: Get Aharon and his sons to go and show each of them personally the correct and proper way to do his duties.
Note 1 topic: writing-pronouns
וְזֹ֣את
and,this
The pronoun this refers to the instructions that follow about how Aaron and his sons must assign specific tasks to each of the Kohathites. It may be helpful to clarify this for your readers. Alternate translation: [But here is what you must]
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / doublet
וְחָיוּ֙ וְלֹ֣א יָמֻ֔תוּ
and,they_will_live and=not die
The phrases live and not die mean similar things. Yahweh is using the two terms together for emphasis. If it would be clearer for your readers, you could express the emphasis with a single phrase. Alternate translation: [and they will certainly live]
Note 3 topic: grammar-connect-logic-goal
וְחָיוּ֙
and,they_will_live
Here, and they will live marks this clause as the purpose of Aaron and his sons showing each man what to carry. Use a connector in your language that makes it clear that this is the purpose. Alternate translation: [so that they will live]
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy
אֶת־קֹ֣דֶשׁ הַקֳּדָשִׁ֑ים
DOM most_holy_of of,the_holy_things
Here, holy of the holies represents the most sacred items. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use an equivalent expression or plain language. Alternate translation: [the things that are most holy]
Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
יָבֹ֔אוּ
they_went
By shall go, Yahweh means Aaron and his sons will enter the sacred tent to show each Kohathite man what he should carry. You could indicate this explicitly in your translation if that would be helpful to your readers. Alternate translation: [shall enter the sacred tent]
Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom
וְשָׂמ֣וּ אוֹתָ֗ם אִ֥ישׁ אִ֛ישׁ
and,they_will_appoint ,them (a)_man (a)_man
The phrase set them man by man is a common expression of this culture that means “to assign each person his own task.” If this phrase does not have that meaning in your language, you could use a comparable expression from your language that does have that meaning, or you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [and appoint each of them]
Note 7 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns
עֲבֹדָת֖וֹ
service_of,his
If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of service, you could express the same idea in another way. Alternate translation: [what he does to serve]
Note 8 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
מַשָּׂאֽוֹ
burden_of,his
See how you translated the same use of burden in [4:15](../04/15.md).

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.
Acknowledgements: The Hebrew text, lemmas, and morphology are all thanks to the OSHB and some of the glosses are from Macula Hebrew.
