Exegesis
The subject phrase kol-ba {כָּל־בָּא | kôl-bāʾ} ‘every one who comes’ identifies those eligible, and the infinitive constructs la-tzava {לַצָּבָא | laṣṣāvāʾ} ‘for service’ with la-asot {לַעֲשׂוֹת | laʿăśōt} ‘to do’ govern melakhah {מְלָאכָה | melākāh} ‘work’ in a purpose clause.
In context — Numbers 4:3
From thirty years old and upward, even to fifty years old, everyone who comes for the service to perform the work in the tent of meeting.
