Check out Contradictions Catalog of Deuteronomy 31:9 for the comprehensive list of verses that contradicts Deuteronomy 31:9. Some key contradictions and paradoxes are described below.

According to the author of Deuteronomy, Moses wrote down God's rules and gave them to the special helpers of God, the priests, who took care of a very important box called the ark, and he also gave them to the wise leaders of Israel. This was to make sure everyone knew how to live and follow God’s ways.

Deuteronomy 31:9: And Moses wrote this law, and delivered it unto the priests the sons of Levi, which bare the ark of the covenant of the LORD, and unto all the elders of Israel.

Contradiction with 1 Samuel 8:7

This verse indicates that God allowed the people to reject His leadership through judges in favor of a king, which contradicts the establishment of law through Moses and the priesthood mentioned in Deuteronomy 31:9.

1 Samuel 8:7: And the LORD said unto Samuel, Hearken unto the voice of the people in all that they say unto thee: for they have not rejected thee, but they have rejected me, that I should not reign over them.

Contradiction with Jeremiah 31:31-33

These verses promise a new covenant different from the one given through Moses, potentially contradicting the enduring validity emphasized in Deuteronomy 31:9.

Jeremiah 31:31-33: Behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel, and with the house of Judah:

Contradiction with Hebrews 8:13

This verse states that the old covenant is becoming obsolete and will disappear, contrasting with the preservation of Mosaic law in Deuteronomy 31:9.

Hebrews 8:13: In that he saith, A new [covenant], he hath made the first old. Now that which decayeth and waxeth old [is] ready to vanish away.

Contradiction with Galatians 3:24-25

These verses suggest that the law was a guide to bring people to Christ and is no longer needed as a tutor, which disputes the permanent establishment of the law as described in Deuteronomy 31:9.

Galatians 3:24-25: Wherefore the law was our schoolmaster [to bring us] unto Christ, that we might be justified by faith.
