Contradiction with Mark 7:18-19
These verses suggest that all foods are clean, contradicting the idea of most holy sacrifices that require special sanctification as mentioned in Exodus 29:37.
Mark 7:18-19: Because it entereth not into his heart, but into the belly, and goeth out into the draught, purging all meats?
Contradiction with Hebrews 10:1-4
These verses state that the law, including offerings, cannot make people perfect, contrasting with the sanctifying power of the altar described in Exodus 29:37.
Hebrews 10:1-4: For the law having a shadow of good things to come, [and] not the very image of the things, can never with those sacrifices which they offered year by year continually make the comers thereunto perfect.
Contradiction with Colossians 2:16-17
This passage mentions that food and drink laws are a shadow of things to come, implying their temporary nature, which contradicts the perpetual sanctification implied in Exodus 29:37.
Colossians 2:16-17: Let no man therefore judge you in meat, or in drink, or in respect of an holyday, or of the new moon, or of the sabbath [days]: [in meat...: or, for eating and drinking] [respect: or, part]
Contradiction with Matthew 15:11
This verse states it is not what enters the mouth that defiles a person, contradicting the idea of sanctification through sacred offerings in Exodus 29:37.
Matthew 15:11: Not that which goeth into the mouth defileth a man; but that which cometh out of the mouth, this defileth a man.
Paradox #1
The contradiction or conflict could arise from the idea that an altar, an object, can become holy and impart holiness through rituals, while moral and ethical actions are often emphasized as the true path to holiness in other parts of the Bible. This might seem inconsistent with the emphasis on inner virtue over external rites.
