Contradiction with Leviticus 23:5
This verse specifies that the Passover lamb should be killed on the fourteenth day of the first month, which does not seem to directly contradict Exodus 12:6, but it suggests a specific timeline that could differ based on interpretation.
Leviticus 23:5: In the fourteenth [day] of the first month at even [is] the LORD'S passover.
Contradiction with Numbers 9:3
Similar to Leviticus 23:5, it specifies the fourteenth day without discussing the specific timing "in the evening" as mentioned in Exodus 12:6, which may imply a different understanding of timing.
Numbers 9:3: In the fourteenth day of this month, at even, ye shall keep it in his appointed season: according to all the rites of it, and according to all the ceremonies thereof, shall ye keep it. [at even: Heb. between the two evenings]
Contradiction with Deuteronomy 16:6
This verse instructs that the sacrifice should be made at the place the Lord will choose, whereas Exodus 12:6 implies a more personal, home-based sacrifice.
Deuteronomy 16:6: But at the place which the LORD thy God shall choose to place his name in, there thou shalt sacrifice the passover at even, at the going down of the sun, at the season that thou camest forth out of Egypt.
Contradiction with John 19:14
Indicates that Jesus' crucifixion was on the day of Preparation of the Passover, creating potential confusion about the timeline since Jesus is often referred to as the Passover lamb, contrasting with the lamb sacrifice of Exodus 12:6.
John 19:14: And it was the preparation of the passover, and about the sixth hour: and he saith unto the Jews, Behold your King!
Contradiction with Mark 14:12
States that Jesus' disciples prepared for Passover on the first day of Unleavened Bread, which may appear contradictory to the timing of the sacrifice described in Exodus 12:6.
Mark 14:12: And the first day of unleavened bread, when they killed the passover, his disciples said unto him, Where wilt thou that we go and prepare that thou mayest eat the passover? [killed: or, sacrificed]
Paradox #1
The contradiction in that verse could be the idea of sacrificing an innocent animal, which raises questions about the ethics of causing harm to living creatures for religious rituals. This action might conflict with modern views on animal rights and the value of all life.
