Contradiction with Numbers 11:8
This verse mentions that the Israelites ground the manna or beat it in a mortar, contradicting Exodus 16:24, where manna was to be preserved without altering its form.
Numbers 11:8: [And] the people went about, and gathered [it], and ground [it] in mills, or beat [it] in a mortar, and baked [it] in pans, and made cakes of it: and the taste of it was as the taste of fresh oil.
Contradiction with Matthew 6:19
This verse advises against laying up treasures on earth, while Exodus 16:24 instructs preserving the manna for a set time, which could be seen as gathering and storing something valuable.
Matthew 6:19: Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon earth, where moth and rust doth corrupt, and where thieves break through and steal:
Contradiction with Exodus 16:20
This verse describes how some people disobey and keep manna overnight, leading it to breed worms and stink, directly contradicting Exodus 16:24, which states that manna did not stink or breed worms when kept as instructed.
Exodus 16:20: Notwithstanding they hearkened not unto Moses; but some of them left of it until the morning, and it bred worms, and stank: and Moses was wroth with them.
Paradox #1
Exodus 16:24 is about following God's instructions regarding the manna, specifically how it should be preserved on the Sabbath. A possible contradiction could arise when comparing this to other Old Testament laws regarding the Sabbath, where acquiring or preparing food was generally forbidden. Some might see inconsistency in the allowance versus the typical restrictions. However, this was a unique case as instructed by God for that specific situation.
