Contradiction with Matthew 15:11
This verse states that what enters the mouth does not defile a person, which contradicts Exodus 40:32 regarding the need for ceremonial washing before entering holy spaces.
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.
Contradiction with Mark 7:18-19
This verse emphasizes that nothing from outside can defile a person, contradicting the emphasis on external cleanliness in Exodus 40:32.
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 Colossians 2:16-17
These verses indicate that the ceremonial cleanliness laws are a shadow of things to come, which contradicts the literal application required in Exodus 40:32.
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 Hebrews 10:1
This verse suggests that the law is only a shadow of good things to come and not the realities themselves, contradicting the strict observance of ritual washing in Exodus 40:32.
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.
