מִשְׁכַּ֨ן הָ⁠עֵדֻ֜ת

tabernacle the,testimony

The phrase the Dwelling of the Testimony is a common description of the tent that held the Ark of the Covenant, which held the tablets on which were written the Ten Commandments. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “the tent holding the ark containing the Ten Commandments”

on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in & and,over & and,over

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / possession

ל⁠וֹ֒

Use a way that is natural in your language to indicate this emphasis. Alternate translation: “They are the ones who must carry … and they are the ones who must serve it”

Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / personification

וְ⁠הֵ֖ם יְשָׁרְתֻ֑⁠הוּ

and,they take_care_of,it
