Contradiction with Isaiah 1:13
Exodus 30:22 specifies a detailed ritual practice, but Isaiah 1:13 criticizes meaningless offerings and rituals, stressing that God desires sincere worship rather than strictly following ritual practices.

Contradiction with Amos 5:21-22

Amos 5:21-22: I hate, I despise your feast days, and I will not smell in your solemn assemblies. [in...: or, your holy days]

This verse criticizes ritual offerings from Sheba and sweet cane from a distant land, implying that such rituals, like those prescribed in Exodus 30:22, are useless if not accompanied by true obedience and ethical living.
Jeremiah 6:20: To what purpose cometh there to me incense from Sheba, and the sweet cane from a far country? your burnt offerings [are] not acceptable, nor your sacrifices sweet unto me.
