Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom
בָּ֣אוּ & לַעֲבֹ֤ד
they_went & to,serve
The phrase went to serve is a common expression of his culture to mean “were capable of serving” or “began their service.” 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. See how you translated the similar phrase in [8:15](../08/15.md). Alternate translation: [were capable of serving]

לַעֲבֹ֤ד אֶת־עֲבֹֽדָתָם֙
to,serve DOM service_of,their
Yahweh is using a construction 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 3 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns
אֶת־עֲבֹֽדָתָם֙
DOM service_of,their
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 they must serve]
