and,anyone that/for/because/then/when presents offering donation/offering to/for=YHWH & offering,his

Here a verb and its object come from the same root. The word presents translates a verb that is related to the noun translated offering. The repetition of related words adds emphasis to the statement. If your language can repeat words for emphasis, it would be appropriate to use that construction here in your translation.

As the General Introduction to Leviticus discusses, the book often speaks of the Israelites and to the Israelites in the third person, even though it is a direct address. Here and throughout the book, if it would be helpful in your language, you could use the second person in your translation.

As the General Introduction discusses, Leviticus often uses future statements to give instructions or commands.
