Exegesis
The construct kol-habbāʾ {כָּל־הַבָּא | kol-habbāʾ} ‘every one coming’ functions as the subject, followed by the infinitival purposes latzava lā-ʿăḇōḏāh indicating ‘for the service, for the work.’ The locative be-ʾōhēl mōʿēḏ specifies the tabernacle of meeting. The Hebrew sequence highlights ordained age qualifications and Levitical duties, which the English preserves by maintaining the order of phrases.
In context — Numbers 4:39
From thirty years old and upward, even until fifty years old, every one coming to the service to do the work in the tent of meeting.
