\v 19 They also sent to us Hashabiah, along with Jeshaiah, descendants of Levi's son Merari, and twenty of their relatives.

Issue: The way the UDB is currently written, the 20 relatives are in addition to the others listed in this verse. Also, Merari's descendants are listed separately. By comparison, the ULB has:
\v 19 With him came Hashabiah. There also were Jeshaiah, one of the descendants of Merari, with his brothers and their sons, twenty men in all.

Suggest changing the UDB text to read:

\v 19 They also sent to us Hashabiah, along with Jeshaiah—a descendant of Levi's son Merari—and his relatives, twenty men in all.

The UDB of EZR 8:19 now reads:

\v 19 They also sent to us Hashabiah, along with Jeshaiah—a descendant of Levi's son Merari—and his relatives, twenty men in all.

Thanks Bob ... much clearer.
