Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / ellipsis
קַ֚ח מֵֽאִתָּ֔ם
accept from,with,them
Yahweh is leaving out some of the words that in many languages a sentence would need in order to be complete. You can supply these words from the context if that would be clearer in your language. Alternate translation: [Take the wagons and cattle from with them]
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
לַעֲבֹ֕ד אֶת־עֲבֹדַ֖ת
to,serve DOM work_of
Here, just as in Numbers 4, the words serve and service refer to tasks of setting up, taking down, and carrying the sacred tent. See how you translated these words in [4:30](../04/30.md). Alternate translation: [for the physical labor required to move]
Note 3 topic: writing-poetry
לַעֲבֹ֕ד אֶת־עֲבֹדַ֖ת
to,serve DOM work_of
The phrase to serve the service is poetic language in which a verb and its object come from the same root. You may be able to use the same construction in your language to express the meaning here. Alternatively, your language may have another way of saying this. Alternate translation: [to serve]
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns
אֶת־עֲבֹדַ֖ת אֹ֣הֶל מוֹעֵ֑ד
DOM work_of tent/house meeting
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: [as the tent of meeting needs to be served]
Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / genericnoun
אִ֖ישׁ
(a)_man
In some languages it is more natural to express a man with a distributive form meaning “each man” or “each one.” This refers to how Moses was to distribute the carts and oxen to each of the groups of Levites according to their needs. If your language has a distributive form, you may want to use it here. Alternate translation: [each man]
Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom
כְּפִ֥י עֲבֹדָתֽוֹ
according,to_the_mouth_of his_service_of,his
Yahweh is using the expression according to the mouth of his service as a common expression of his culture to mean “according to how he was required to serve.” 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: [according to how he was required to serve]
Note 7 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns
עֲבֹדָתֽוֹ
his_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: [how he serves]

OET (OET-RV) “Accept their gifts because they’ll be useful for the running of the sacred tent. Distribute them appropriately to the Levites, depending on each man’s duties.”
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.
