Contradiction with 1 Kings 6:7

This verse describes Solomon's temple construction using finished stones brought from the quarry, indicating that stones were shaped and hewn, contrasting the directive in Deuteronomy 27:6 to build an altar without using any tools on the stones.

1 Kings 6:7: And the house, when it was in building, was built of stone made ready before it was brought thither: so that there was neither hammer nor axe [nor] any tool of iron heard in the house, while it was in building.

Paradox #1

Deuteronomy 27:6 instructs the use of uncut stones for building an altar. A contradiction or inconsistency may arise when considering other biblical texts, such as in 1 Kings 6, where Solomon's Temple is described using dressed stones and elaborate carvings. This could seem inconsistent with the simpler, uncut stone requirement mentioned in Deuteronomy.
