Paradox #1
Ezekiel 4:10 talks about a specific weight for bread that Ezekiel is instructed to eat during a symbolic act. Some people might see a contradiction between this and other parts of the Bible that describe more abundant provision or different instructions related to food. However, this is more about symbolic meaning for a particular situation rather than an actual dietary guideline.
