Numbers 9:2: Let the children of Israel also keep the passover at his appointed season.

Contradiction with Exodus 12:6

Exodus 12:6 specifies that the Passover is to be held on the 14th day of the first month, conflicting with 2 Chronicles 30:2, where the decision is to hold it in the second month.

Leviticus 23:5 sets the Passover date on the 14th day of the first month, which contradicts 2 Chronicles 30:2's deferral to the second month.

Leviticus 23:5: In the fourteenth [day] of the first month at even [is] the LORD'S passover.

Contradiction with Numbers 28:16

Numbers 28:16 reiterates the Passover on the 14th day of the first month, differing from the adjustment in 2 Chronicles 30:2 to the second month.

Paradox #1

The contradiction with 2 Chronicles 30:2 lies in the timing of the Passover celebration, which is described as taking place in the second month. According to traditional law in the book of Exodus, Passover was supposed to be celebrated in the first month. This inconsistency suggests a departure from established religious practice.
