Contradiction with Exodus 16:19-20
This passage describes how the Israelites were instructed not to leave any manna until the morning, but some did not listen, and it bred worms and stank, highlighting disobedience to an instruction; however, it does not involve the burning of leftovers, instead focusing on consequences for disobedience.
Exodus 16:19-20: And Moses said, Let no man leave of it till the morning.
Contradiction with Leviticus 7:15-17
This instruction specifies that if the flesh of the sacrifice is not eaten on the first day, the remainder can still be eaten on the second day, but anything left over should be burned. This partial allowance for leftovers contrasts with the complete consumption or burning required in Exodus 12:10.
Leviticus 7:15-17: And the flesh of the sacrifice of his peace offerings for thanksgiving shall be eaten the same day that it is offered; he shall not leave any of it until the morning.
Contradiction with Leviticus 19:6-8
Offers a sacrificial practice where parts of the offering can be eaten the next day, differing from Exodus 12:10, which requires none left over till the next day.
Leviticus 19:6-8: It shall be eaten the same day ye offer it, and on the morrow: and if ought remain until the third day, it shall be burnt in the fire.
Contradiction with Numbers 9:12
In the regulations for the Passover, this verse instructs that none of the lamb is to remain until morning similar to Exodus 12:10 but also adds that no bone of it shall be broken, offering additional specific instructions not mentioned in Exodus 12:10.
Numbers 9:12: They shall leave none of it unto the morning, nor break any bone of it: according to all the ordinances of the passover they shall keep it.
Contradiction with Matthew 14:20
Describes the gathering of leftover fragments after the feeding of the five thousand, which indicates the preservation of leftovers, contrasting with the instruction to burn leftovers in Exodus 12:10.
Matthew 14:20: And they did all eat, and were filled: and they took up of the fragments that remained twelve baskets full.
Paradox #1
Exodus 12:10 instructs about not leaving any leftovers until morning, saying any remains should be burned. A contradiction or inconsistency could be seen in the context of waste versus stewardship. On one hand, burning leftovers might seem wasteful, contradicting other teachings about caring for resources and addressing hunger. On the other hand, it reflects obedience and precise following of religious rituals. This can create a tension between the ideas of obedience to religious laws and the practical or ethical use of resources.
