BrLXX Καὶ ἤλθοσαν ἡμῖν ὡς χεὶρ Θεοῦ ἡμῶν ἀγαθὴ ἐφʼ ἡμᾶς, ἀνὴρ σαχὼν ἀπὸ υἱῶν Μοολὶ, υἱοῦ Λευὶ, υἱοῦ Ἰσραήλ· καὶ ἀρχὴν ἦλθον οἱ υἱοὶ αὐτοῦ καὶ ἀδελφοὶ αὐτοῦ δεκαοκτώ·

8:18 the gracious hand of our God: Ezra, his leaders, and Iddo all took action to rectify the problem, but ultimately everything was accomplished because of God’s grace. Only thirty-eight Levites (including the leaders) and 220 Temple servants responded.
Note 1 topic: grammar-connect-logic-result
וַיָּבִ֨יאּוּ
and,brought
This word indicates that the sentence it introduces explains the results of what the previous sentence described. Alternate translation: “As a result … they brought”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
כְּיַד־אֱלֹהֵ֨ינוּ הַטּוֹבָ֤ה עָלֵ֨ינוּ֙
since,hand God,our the,gracious on,us
As in the expression according to the good hand of his God upon him in 7:6, hand represents action, and the expression indicates that God showed Ezra favor and helped him on this occasion. Alternate translation: “because our God was helping us”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / exclusive
לָ֜נוּ & עָלֵ֨ינוּ֙
to/for=us & on,us
As Ezra tells his story, he uses us in the exclusive sense, that is, it excludes the reader.
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
אִ֣ישׁ שֶׂ֔כֶל
(a)_man insight
Here, insight, that is, the ability to “see into” things, means to have good judgment. Alternate translation: “a very prudent man”
Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
מִבְּנֵ֣י מַחְלִ֔י בֶּן־לֵוִ֖י בֶּן־יִשְׂרָאֵ֑ל וְשֵׁרֵֽבְיָ֛ה
from=(the)_sons Mahli son_of Lēvīh son_of Yisrael and,Sherebiah
Sons means “descendants” in reference to Mahli, since he was a distant ancestor of the group that Sherebiah belonged to. The word son means “descendant” when applied to Levi, since Mahli was actually his grandson. But Levi actually was the biological son of Israel. Alternate translation: “named Sherebiah, one of the descendants of Mahli, the grandson of Levi, the son of Israel”
Note 6 topic: translate-names
מַחְלִ֔י & לֵוִ֖י & יִשְׂרָאֵ֑ל וְשֵׁרֵֽבְיָ֛ה
Mahli & Lēvīh & Yisrael and,Sherebiah
These are the names of four men.
Note 7 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
וּבָנָ֥יו וְאֶחָ֖יו שְׁמֹנָ֥ה עָשָֽׂר
and,sons,his and,brothers,him eight ten
Since this was a small group of related people, it is quite possible that it consisted largely, if not entirely, of Sherebiah’s actual sons and brothers. So you could, in your translation, decide to treat the terms as literal. On the other hand, they could also be figurative, with sons meaning “descendants” and brothers meaning “relatives.” Alternate translation: “along with 18 of his sons and brothers” or “along with 18 of his descendants and relatives”
