Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / doublet

וְ⁠חָיוּ֙ וְ⁠לֹ֣א יָמֻ֔תוּ

and,live and=not die

The word live and the phrase not die mean the same thing. Yahweh is using these together for emphasis. If it would be clearer for your readers, you could express the emphasis with a single phrase. Alternate translation: “and they will certainly live”

Note 2 topic: grammar-connect-logic-goal

וְ⁠חָיוּ֙

and,live

Here, and indicates that what follows is the goal or purpose for the command in this verse. Use a connector in your language that makes it clear that this is the purpose. Alternate translation (with no comma preceding): “so that they will live”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

אוֹתָ֗⁠ם אִ֥ישׁ אִ֛ישׁ

DOM,them (a)_man (a)_man

Note 7 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

עֲבֹדָת֖⁠וֹ

task,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: “what he does to serve”

Note 8 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

מַשָּׂאֽ⁠וֹ

burden,his
