Here Yahweh uses the possessive forms his and of to indicate that the Levites were supposed to perform their duties for the benefit of Aaron and all the congregation. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a different expression. Alternate translation: “And they shall perform duties for him and for all the congregation”
