Contradiction with Numbers 26:53-54

These verses describe the division of the land among the tribes according to the size of the tribes, which contradicts Ezekiel 48:22 that gives specific land allocation without regard to size.

Numbers 26:53-54: Unto these the land shall be divided for an inheritance according to the number of names.

Contradiction with Joshua 13:6-7

God's command to Joshua to divide the land among the tribes could be seen to contradict Ezekiel 48:22 because the allocation is not based on Ezekiel's vision but Joshua's leadership.

Joshua 13:6-7: All the inhabitants of the hill country from Lebanon unto Misrephothmaim, [and] all the Sidonians, them will I drive out from before the children of Israel: only divide thou it by lot unto the Israelites for an inheritance, as I have commanded thee.

Contradiction with Deuteronomy 19:14
