Have ye not cast out the priests of the LORD, the sons of Aaron, and the Levites, and have made you priests after the manner of the nations of [other] lands? so that whosoever cometh to consecrate himself with a young bullock and seven rams, [the same] may be a priest of [them that are] no gods.
Have ye not cast out {H5080} the priests {H3548} of the LORD {H3068}, the sons {H1121} of Aaron {H175}, and the Levites {H3881}, and have made {H6213} you priests {H3548} after the manner of the nations {H5971} of other lands {H776}? so that whosoever cometh {H935} to consecrate {H4390}{H3027} himself with a young {H1121}{H1241} bullock {H6499} and seven {H7651} rams {H352}, the same may be a priest {H3548} of them that are no {H3808} gods {H430}.
Yes, you drove out the cohanim of ADONAI, the descendants of Aharon, and the L'vi'im; and you made yourselves priests as do the peoples in other countries, so that anyone who comes to consecrate himself with a young bull and seven rams can become a priest of those non-gods.
But did you not drive out the priests of the LORD, the sons of Aaron, and the Levites? And did you not make priests for yourselves as do the peoples of other lands? Now whoever comes to consecrate himself with a young bull and seven rams can become a priest of things that are not gods.
Have ye not driven out the priests of Jehovah, the sons of Aaron, and the Levites, and made you priests after the manner of the peoples of other lands? so that whosoever cometh to consecrate himself with a young bullock and seven rams, the same may be a priest of them that are no gods.
