Contradiction with Exodus 25:9
Exodus 39:41 details the completion of priestly garments, while Exodus 25:9 emphasizes following the exact pattern shown on the mount, suggesting a potential deviation or liberty in creation.
Exodus 25:9: According to all that I shew thee, [after] the pattern of the tabernacle, and the pattern of all the instruments thereof, even so shall ye make [it].
Contradiction with Exodus 28:2
Exodus 28:2 commands the consecration and sanctity of garments for glory and beauty, contrasting with Exodus 39:41, which simply describes the making of them without directly emphasizing their divine function.
Exodus 28:2: And thou shalt make holy garments for Aaron thy brother for glory and for beauty.
Contradiction with Numbers 27:21
In Numbers, the Urim is used for decisions, hinting that priestly garments alone, as per Exodus 39:41, are insufficient for divine judgment without additional tools.
Numbers 27:21: And he shall stand before Eleazar the priest, who shall ask [counsel] for him after the judgment of Urim before the LORD: at his word shall they go out, and at his word they shall come in, [both] he, and all the children of Israel with him, even all the congregation.
Contradiction with Isaiah 1:11
God questions the value of offerings and rituals in Isaiah, which may imply a contradiction with the focus on ceremonial garments in Exodus 39:41.
Isaiah 1:11: To what purpose [is] the multitude of your sacrifices unto me? saith the LORD: I am full of the burnt offerings of rams, and the fat of fed beasts; and I delight not in the blood of bullocks, or of lambs, or of he goats. [he goats: Heb. great he goats]
Contradiction with Matthew 23:27
Matthew criticizes outward appearances without inner truth, challenging the emphasis on physical garments in Exodus 39:41.
Matthew 23:27: Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye are like unto whited sepulchres, which indeed appear beautiful outward, but are within full of dead [men's] bones, and of all uncleanness.
Contradiction with Hebrews 10:1
Hebrews suggests the law has only a shadow of good things to come, which could contrast with the focus on ritualistic garments in Exodus 39:41.
Hebrews 10:1: 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.
