Contradiction with Leviticus 7:15
This verse allows the flesh of the sacrifice of thanksgiving to be eaten on the same day, unlike Exodus 34:25, which prohibits leaving until morning.
Leviticus 7:15: And the flesh of the sacrifice of his peace offerings for thanksgiving shall be eaten the same day that it is offered; he shall not leave any of it until the morning.
Contradiction with Deuteronomy 16:4
Prohibits leaving any meat of the Passover sacrifice until morning, similar to Exodus 34:25, which might be seen as covering different sacrifices differently.
Deuteronomy 16:4: And there shall be no leavened bread seen with thee in all thy coast seven days; neither shall there [any thing] of the flesh, which thou sacrificedst the first day at even, remain all night until the morning.
Contradiction with Numbers 9:12
This verse also prohibits leaving any of the Passover meat until morning, potentially contradictory if considering different contexts for sacrifice regulations.
Numbers 9:12: They shall leave none of it unto the morning, nor break any bone of it: according to all the ordinances of the passover they shall keep it.
Contradiction with 1 Samuel 2:15-16
Shows an irregular practice where sacrifices were eaten on the same day, conflicting with the spirit of the prohibition against leaving it until morning in Exodus 34:25.
1 Samuel 2:15-16: Also before they burnt the fat, the priest's servant came, and said to the man that sacrificed, Give flesh to roast for the priest; for he will not have sodden flesh of thee, but raw.
Paradox #1
Exodus 34:25 mentions not mixing sacrificial blood with leavened bread. This could seem inconsistent with the focus in the New Testament on grace and faith instead of strict adherence to ritual laws, as emphasized in verses like Galatians 2:16, where faith is prioritized over the law.
Paradox #2
Exodus 34:25 talks about not offering the blood of a sacrificial animal with leavened bread. A possible contradiction could be that this rule conflicts with other parts of the Bible, where different instructions are provided regarding sacrifices and offerings. These inconsistencies might suggest variations in religious practices or beliefs over time among different groups who followed the text.
Paradox #3
This verse talks about not mixing blood sacrifices with leavened bread, which can seem in conflict with other parts of the Bible where it talks about breaking rules or traditions for the sake of compassion or necessity. So, it might feel inconsistent with messages that prioritize human needs over strict rule-following.
