Contradiction with Leviticus 25:44-46
These verses permit Israelites to buy and keep slaves from other nations, in contrast to Jeremiah 34:9 which commands the release of fellow Hebrew slaves.
Leviticus 25:44-46: Both thy bondmen, and thy bondmaids, which thou shalt have, [shall be] of the heathen that are round about you; of them shall ye buy bondmen and bondmaids.
Contradiction with Exodus 21:2-6
This passage outlines the conditions under which Hebrew slaves could be kept, including a scenario where they do not go free, which contradicts Jeremiah 34:9's command for their release.
Exodus 21:2-6: If thou buy an Hebrew servant, six years he shall serve: and in the seventh he shall go out free for nothing.
Contradiction with Deuteronomy 15:12
Although it mentions the release of Hebrew slaves, it sets a six-year term for service, which suggests a conditional aspect contradictory to the immediate release implied in Jeremiah 34:9.
Deuteronomy 15:12: [And] if thy brother, an Hebrew man, or an Hebrew woman, be sold unto thee, and serve thee six years; then in the seventh year thou shalt let him go free from thee.
Contradiction with Genesis 17:12-13
Discusses the acquisition of slaves through birth or purchase within one's household, suggesting the permissibility of keeping slaves, whereas Jeremiah 34:9 pushes for emancipation.
Genesis 17:12-13: And he that is eight days old shall be circumcised among you, every man child in your generations, he that is born in the house, or bought with money of any stranger, which [is] not of thy seed. [he that is eight...: Heb. a son of eight days]
Contradiction with Exodus 21:7-11
These verses allow a man to sell his daughter as a servant, whose release is subject to specific conditions, clashing with the notion of immediate release in Jeremiah 34:9.
Exodus 21:7-11: And if a man sell his daughter to be a maidservant, she shall not go out as the menservants do.
