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.
