13:9a But did you not drive out the priests of the LORD,

But are you not the people who banished the priests of Yahweh
-or-
However, you chased away the sacrificers of Yahweh.

13:9b the sons of Aaron, and the Levites?

who are the descendants of Aaron, and the Levites?
-or-
Those sacrificers were the descendants of Aaron ⌊the first high priest. You also chased away the people from⌋ the clan of Levi.

13:9c And did you not make priests for yourselves

Did you not appoint your own priests ⌊in their stead⌋
-or-
⌊In their place⌋ you chose sacrificers who are not from the clan of Levi.

13:9d as do the peoples of other lands?

as the people in the other countries do?
-or-
You did this just as people who are not Jews do.

13:9e Now whoever comes to consecrate himself with a young bull and seven rams can become a priest of things that are not gods.

Anyone who brings a young bull and seven rams to offer as sacrifice can become a priest to these idols that you call gods.
-or-
⌊It is easy for⌋ anyone to become a priest ⌊to your idols⌋. The person just needs a young male ox and seven male sheep to offer to the idols. You call these idols gods but they are not.
