Contradiction with Ezekiel 44:15
This verse states the sons of Zadok, who kept charge of the sanctuary, suggesting a different allocation of priestly duties compared to Ezekiel 40:46, which emphasizes the Levites' role.
Ezekiel 44:15: But the priests the Levites, the sons of Zadok, that kept the charge of my sanctuary when the children of Israel went astray from me, they shall come near to me to minister unto me, and they shall stand before me to offer unto me the fat and the blood, saith the Lord GOD:
Contradiction with Numbers 3:6-10
These verses assign the Levites to assist Aaron and the priests, which could contradict the specific duties of Ezekiel 40:46 by proposing a broader, supportive role instead.
Numbers 3:6-10: Bring the tribe of Levi near, and present them before Aaron the priest, that they may minister unto him.
Contradiction with 1 Kings 8:4
This verse involves Levites moving the Ark, contrasting with the focus on Ezekiel 40:46 on keeping charge of the altar exclusively.
1 Kings 8:4: And they brought up the ark of the LORD, and the tabernacle of the congregation, and all the holy vessels that [were] in the tabernacle, even those did the priests and the Levites bring up.
Contradiction with Deuteronomy 10:8
Assigns Levites to carry the Ark and minister, potentially conflicting with the narrow duty described in Ezekiel 40:46.
Deuteronomy 10:8: At that time the LORD separated the tribe of Levi, to bear the ark of the covenant of the LORD, to stand before the LORD to minister unto him, and to bless in his name, unto this day.
Contradiction with Hebrews 7:11-12
Discusses the change in priesthood through Jesus, which might contradict Ezekiel 40:46's traditional Levite duties by introducing a new priesthood.
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?
