Contradiction with Leviticus 25:23-24
This verse states that the land shall not be sold permanently and is considered God's, suggesting a contrast with the giving away of property mentioned in Ezekiel 46:17.
Leviticus 25:23-24: The land shall not be sold for ever: for the land [is] mine; for ye [are] strangers and sojourners with me. [for ever: or, to be quite cut off: Heb. for cutting off]
Contradiction with Numbers 36:7
It emphasizes that inheritance should not pass to another tribe in Israel, highlighting a potential conflict with the temporary giving of inheritance described in Ezekiel 46:17.
Numbers 36:7: So shall not the inheritance of the children of Israel remove from tribe to tribe: for every one of the children of Israel shall keep himself to the inheritance of the tribe of his fathers. [keep...: Heb. cleave to the, etc]
Contradiction with Deuteronomy 19:14
This verse warns against removing a neighbor's landmark, which could be seen as in tension with adjusting hereditary lands mentioned in Ezekiel 46:17.
Deuteronomy 19:14: Thou shalt not remove thy neighbour's landmark, which they of old time have set in thine inheritance, which thou shalt inherit in the land that the LORD thy God giveth thee to possess it.
Contradiction with Deuteronomy 25:19
The command to remember and not blot out the name of Amalek could be viewed as a contrast regarding continuity and inheritance, different from the temporary allowance in Ezekiel 46:17.
Deuteronomy 25:19: Therefore it shall be, when the LORD thy God hath given thee rest from all thine enemies round about, in the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee [for] an inheritance to possess it, [that] thou shalt blot out the remembrance of Amalek from under heaven; thou shalt not forget [it].
Contradiction with Leviticus 25:10
Talks about proclaiming a jubilee and returning every man to his possession, which could contradict the idea of temporarily giving land in Ezekiel 46:17.
Leviticus 25:10: And ye shall hallow the fiftieth year, and proclaim liberty throughout [all] the land unto all the inhabitants thereof: it shall be a jubile unto you; and ye shall return every man unto his possession, and ye shall return every man unto his family.
Paradox #1
This verse presents a potential contradiction related to fairness and inheritance rights. It speaks about a prince giving a gift to his servants, which remains temporary and returns in the year of liberty, but if given to his sons, it becomes permanent. The conflict arises because it seems to establish a hierarchy in the value and permanence of gifts based on the recipient's status, potentially challenging the idea of equal treatment.
