(Some words not found in UHB: and=he/it_sacrificed DOM all/each/any/every priests_of of,the_high_places which/who there on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in the,altars and,he_burned DOM bones_of humankind on,them and,he_returned Yərūshālam/(Jerusalem) )
The author does not mean that Josiah sacrificed these priests to Yahweh. He did not offer them on these altars as human sacrifices. Rather, he means that Josiah slaughtered them right on their pagan altars as if they had been sacrifices. It may be helpful to clarify this for your readers. Alternate translation: [And he slaughtered]

Note: The OET-RV is still only a first draft, and so far only a few words have been (mostly automatically) matched to the Hebrew or Greek words that they’re translated from.
