Paradox #1

2 Chronicles 35:11 talks about the Passover sacrifices conducted by the priests and Levites. A possible conflict or inconsistency could be with other biblical accounts of Passover practices, especially in how different books of the Bible describe the procedures, roles, and timing of sacrifices. There might also be differences with earlier descriptions in the books of Exodus or Leviticus regarding the Passover celebration, creating potential contradictions in the narrative about how such rituals were actually carried out historically.
