Contradiction with Jeremiah 31:33
This verse refers to God's law being written in people's hearts, whereas Exodus 24:12 speaks of the law being written on tablets of stone.
Jeremiah 31:33: But this [shall be] the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel; After those days, saith the LORD, I will put my law in their inward parts, and write it in their hearts; and will be their God, and they shall be my people.
Contradiction with Romans 2:15
This verse talks about the law being written in human hearts and consciences, contrasting the physical tablets mentioned in Exodus 24:12.
Romans 2:15: Which shew the work of the law written in their hearts, their conscience also bearing witness, and [their] thoughts the mean while accusing or else excusing one another;) [their conscience...: or, the conscience witnessing with them] [the mean...: or, between themselves]
Contradiction with Galatians 3:19
This verse suggests the law was added because of transgressions until the arrival of Christ, which can be seen as contrasting the permanence implied in Exodus 24:12.
Galatians 3:19: Wherefore then [serveth] the law? It was added because of transgressions, till the seed should come to whom the promise was made; [and it was] ordained by angels in the hand of a mediator.
Contradiction with Hebrews 8:10
This verse describes God putting laws into minds and writing them on hearts, indicating an internalization rather than the external tablets indicated in Exodus 24:12.
Hebrews 8:10: For this [is] the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, saith the Lord; I will put my laws into their mind, and write them in their hearts: and I will be to them a God, and they shall be to me a people: [put: Gr. give] [in: or, upon]
Paradox #1
Exodus 24:12 mentions God giving Moses stone tablets with the law and commandments. A contradiction could be the timing and origin of these laws compared to similar ancient legal codes, like the Code of Hammurabi. Some scholars debate whether the biblical laws were influenced by earlier legal traditions or if they developed independently, raising questions about their originality.
