Contradiction with Exodus 20:8-11
1 Chronicles 23:30 emphasizes daily praise, whereas Exodus 20:8-11 commands resting on the Sabbath, suggesting no work, including daily praise as work, on this day.
Exodus 20:8-11: Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy.
Contradiction with Ecclesiastes 3:1
While 1 Chronicles 23:30 indicates daily praise is needed, Ecclesiastes 3:1 states there is a specific time for every purpose, suggesting there isn't a need for constant daily praise.
Ecclesiastes 3:1: To every [thing there is] a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven:
Contradiction with Romans 14:5
1 Chronicles 23:30 promotes praising every day, whereas Romans 14:5 implies that some days can be considered more important for such activities, suggesting not every day is the same.
Romans 14:5: One man esteemeth one day above another: another esteemeth every day [alike]. Let every man be fully persuaded in his own mind. [fully persuaded: or, fully assured]
Contradiction with Matthew 6:6
1 Chronicles 23:30 involves communal daily praise in the temple, while Matthew 6:6 encourages private prayer, differing in the nature of worship practice.
Matthew 6:6: But thou, when thou prayest, enter into thy closet, and when thou hast shut thy door, pray to thy Father which is in secret; and thy Father which seeth in secret shall reward thee openly.
Paradox #1
The potential contradiction in 1 Chronicles 23:30 could arise from the timing and nature of the duties of the Levites. In the verse, Levites are instructed to stand every morning and evening to give thanks and praise to the Lord. A possible inconsistency is that other parts of the Bible describe different duties or fewer duties for the Levites, especially during certain periods in Israel's history, such as before the temple was built by Solomon. This has led some scholars to discuss how these roles might have changed or been expanded over time.
