8:16-17 The Hebrew term translated men of discernment refers to those who could interpret and explain the Torah. These men were probably respected because of their expertise in Scripture (cp. Neh 8:8-9). Ezra commissioned them to use their influence to recruit more Levites.

Here the word then indicates that the sentence it introduces explains what Ezra did as a result of what the previous sentence described. Alternate translation: “As a result”

Here, Ezra lists the names of nine men.
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
רָאשִׁ֑ים
heads
Unlike in 7:28, here this expression does not mean heads of father’s houses, that is, clan leaders. Rather, heads here has a more general meaning and is simply a figurative way of saying “leaders.” None of these nine men, with the possible exception of Zechariah, are among the clan leaders listed in 8:2–14. (And considering that three of the men whom Ezra summoned were named Elnathan, which shows that several individuals could share the same name, it is quite possible that this is a different Zechariah from either the one named in 8:3 or the one named in 8:11.) Alternate translation: “who were all leaders”
Note 4 topic: translate-names
וּלְיוֹיָרִ֥יב וּלְאֶלְנָתָ֖ן
and,for,Joiarib and,for,Elnathan
Here Ezra lists the names of two more men.
Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
מְבִינִֽים
wise
This phrase suggests that while Joiarib and Elnathan were not community leaders like the other nine men, Ezra sent them anyway to help recruit more temple personnel because they were wise and reasonable and could be persuasive. If it would be helpful to your readers, you could say that explicitly. Alternate translation: “because, even though they were not leaders, they were discerning”
