Contradiction with Exodus 37:16
This verse describes the making of the vessels for the table in the tabernacle, but it doesn’t list the utensils according to the same order or detail as Exodus 25:29, which can be seen as a contradiction in the description process.
Exodus 37:16: And he made the vessels which [were] upon the table, his dishes, and his spoons, and his bowls, and his covers to cover withal, [of] pure gold. [to cover...: or, to pour out withal]
Contradiction with Numbers 4:7
While Exodus 25:29 details the making of certain items, Numbers 4:7 is about the covering and care of these items during transport, creating a functional contradiction in focus.
Numbers 4:7: And upon the table of shewbread they shall spread a cloth of blue, and put thereon the dishes, and the spoons, and the bowls, and covers to cover withal: and the continual bread shall be thereon: [cover...: or, pour out withal]
Contradiction with Leviticus 24:6-7
This passage describes the use of plates and frankincense in a ceremonial context in a manner that doesn’t strictly follow from the details in Exodus 25:29, especially concerning purpose and placement, which might be seen as a practical contradiction in their use.
Leviticus 24:6-7: And thou shalt set them in two rows, six on a row, upon the pure table before the LORD.
