This verse specifies that the Passover lamb should be without blemish, whereas Ezekiel 46:6 allows for a lamb or a young bullock, which differs from the traditional requirement for a Passover offering.

Contradiction with Numbers 28:19

Contradiction with Leviticus 23:18

This verse states that there should be two loaves, seven lambs, one young bullock, and two rams for a Feast of Firstfruits offering, which contrasts with the offerings described in Ezekiel 46:6.

2 Chronicles 35:7: And Josiah gave to the people, of the flock, lambs and kids, all for the passover offerings, for all that were present, to the number of thirty thousand, and three thousand bullocks: these [were] of the king's substance. [gave: Heb. offered]
