As 8:5 explains, this was a raised platform that allowed the large crowd to see and hear Ezra as he read. If it would be helpful to your readers, you could say that explicitly here. Alternate translation: “a raised wooden platform”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
אֲשֶׁ֣ר עָשׂ֣וּ לַדָּבָר֒
which/who they_had_acquired to=the_word/thing/matter
If it would be helpful in your language, you could say who built this platform, and what the purpose was. Alternate translation: “that the people had built so that they could see and hear Ezra as he read”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy
אֶצְל֡וֹ & עַל־יְמִינ֑וֹ
beside,him & on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in right,his
Here, hand is a metonym that means “side.” Alternate translation: “next to him, on his right side”

Pədā\sup_yāh and,Mishael and,Malchijah and,Hashum and,Hashbaddanah Zəkar\sup_yāh Məshullām
These are the names of seven men.
8:4 These thirteen people were apparently community leaders. Some might have helped Ezra roll the scroll as he read.
