Check out Contradictions Catalog of Exodus 6:25 for the comprehensive list of verses that contradicts Exodus 6:25. Some key contradictions and paradoxes are described below.

According to the author of the book of Exodus, this verse tells us that Eleazar, who is Aaron's son, got married to a woman named Putiel. They had a son named Phinehas, and this helps us know who some of the important family leaders were among the Levites, who were special helpers for God.

Exodus 6:25: And Eleazar Aaron's son took him [one] of the daughters of Putiel to wife; and she bare him Phinehas: these [are] the heads of the fathers of the Levites according to their families.

Contradiction with Numbers 25:11-13

Phinehas, the son of Eleazar, is described as a man who turns away God's wrath, seemingly emphasizing his significance and covenant, which can be seen as not aligning with the straightforward genealogical account of Exodus 6:25.

Numbers 25:11-13: Phinehas, the son of Eleazar, the son of Aaron the priest, hath turned my wrath away from the children of Israel, while he was zealous for my sake among them, that I consumed not the children of Israel in my jealousy. [for...: Heb. with my zeal]

Contradiction with 1 Chronicles 6:4

It lists Eleazar and Phinehas in the genealogy but focuses more on the lineage, not providing context or significance to Phinehas' actions as mentioned in later texts, contrasting with the narrative focus of Exodus 6:25.

1 Chronicles 6:4: Eleazar begat Phinehas, Phinehas begat Abishua,

Contradiction with Hebrews 7:11-12

Discusses the change in priesthood and law not related to the Aaronic line, offering a different perspective on priesthood compared to the direct lineage mentioned in Exodus 6:25.

Hebrews 7:11-12: If therefore perfection were by the Levitical priesthood, (for under it the people received the law,) what further need [was there] that another priest should rise after the order of Melchisedec, and not be called after the order of Aaron?
