Check out Contradictions Catalog of Exodus 12:46 for the comprehensive list of verses that contradicts Exodus 12:46. Some key contradictions and paradoxes are described below.

According to the author of Exodus, God told the people that they must eat the special meal in one house and not take any of it outside, and they should not break any bones of the animal. This was a way to show that the meal was important and special.

Exodus 12:46: In one house shall it be eaten; thou shalt not carry forth ought of the flesh abroad out of the house; neither shall ye break a bone thereof.

Contradiction with Numbers 9:12

This verse reaffirms the command in Exodus 12:46 by stating that no bone of the Passover lamb should be broken, which aligns with Exodus 12:46 rather than contradicting it.

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 John 19:36

This verse echoes the prophecy that not a bone of Christ shall be broken, consistent with Exodus 12:46, as it directly fulfills and supports the original command rather than contradicting it.

John 19:36: For these things were done, that the scripture should be fulfilled, A bone of him shall not be broken.

Paradox #1

One potential contradiction with Exodus 12:46 could be its instruction on not breaking the bones of the Passover lamb, which may conflict with later interpretations related to Jesus as the "Lamb of God" in the New Testament. Some argue that the symbolic connection requires careful consideration, as Jesus' crucifixion is seen as a fulfillment of the Passover sacrifice, yet some traditions hold that none of His bones were broken, in line with the scripture. This could be seen as a theological tension between Old Testament practices and New Testament symbolism.

Paradox #2

Exodus 12:46 talks about not breaking any bones of the Passover lamb. The moral inconsistency might be seen in how such specific instructions focus on ritual details instead of broader moral teachings. Some might see a conflict in prioritizing ritual over compassion or ethical behavior, which are often emphasized elsewhere in religious teachings.
