Contradiction with Proverbs 16:31
This verse honors the age and suggests that gray hair is a crown of glory if it is found in the way of righteousness, which can contradict any negative connotations of aging seen in Joshua 23:2.
Proverbs 16:31: The hoary head [is] a crown of glory, [if] it be found in the way of righteousness.
Contradiction with 1 Timothy 4:12
This verse encourages not letting anyone despise youth, which can contrast with Joshua 23:2's focus and potential value on the aging leadership.
1 Timothy 4:12: Let no man despise thy youth; but be thou an example of the believers, in word, in conversation, in charity, in spirit, in faith, in purity.
Contradiction with Job 12:12
This verse suggests that wisdom and understanding are with the aged, which can contradict a negative view of aging or elder leadership.
Job 12:12: With the ancient [is] wisdom; and in length of days understanding.
Contradiction with Ecclesiastes 4:13
It suggests a poor but wise youth is better than an old and foolish king, possibly contradicting Joshua 23:2 if it's interpreted as valuing aged leadership.
Ecclesiastes 4:13: Better [is] a poor and a wise child than an old and foolish king, who will no more be admonished. [who...: Heb. who knoweth not to be admonished]
