Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns
זֹ֣את עֲבֹדַ֔ת מִשְׁפְּחֹ֖ת הַגֵּרְשֻׁנִּ֑י
this(f) service_of clans_of of,the_Gershonite[s]
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: [This is how the clans of the Gershonite serve]
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / genericnoun
הַגֵּרְשֻׁנִּ֑י
of,the_Gershonite[s]
Yahweh is not referring to a specific Gershonite. He means all the descendants of Gershon in general. If it would be helpful to your readers, you could use an expression that would be more natural in your language. Alternate translation: [the Gershonites]
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
לַעֲבֹ֖ד וּלְמַשָּֽׂא
for,serving and,for,carrying
These phrases specify what exactly the service of the Gershonites was. It included both serving and carrying burdens. You could make this idea more explicit if that would be helpful to your readers. Alternate translation: [both to serve and to carry their burdens]
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.
