Exegesis
The direct object marker et {אֶת־ | ʾet-} marks acheikha {אַחֶיךָ | ʾaḥê-kā} ‘your brothers’ as the object of the Hiphil imperative hakrev {הַקְרֵב | ha-ḳrêb} ‘bring near’.
In context — Numbers 18:2
And also bring near your brothers, the tribe of Levi, the tribe of your father, to be with you, and they will be joined to you and serve you; but you and your sons with you shall be before the tent of the testimony .
