Two things: some folks just say, "the Bible was rewritten!!!!!!" with no evidence, just that it's an old text. Biblical textual criticism is a lot more complex than that, of course, and we do have pre-BC texts of Leviticus to compare to. So, arguably, these things can be checked.
Second, there's the "all translators mangle things, often to support existing dogma" which is a lot harder. The version I quoted is the English Standard Version, which is a very highly respected modern translation. Translation is hard, even with modern languages. So I'd want to see someone with actual Ancient Hebrew credentials to explain it.
