Contradiction with Matthew 15:11
This verse suggests that what enters a person is not what defiles them, contradicting Leviticus 10:13's focus on dietary rules.
Matthew 15:11: Not that which goeth into the mouth defileth a man; but that which cometh out of the mouth, this defileth a man.
Contradiction with Mark 7:18-19
This passage declares all foods clean, opposing the ritual dietary instructions outlined in Leviticus 10:13.
Mark 7:18-19: Because it entereth not into his heart, but into the belly, and goeth out into the draught, purging all meats?
Contradiction with Acts 10:15
Peter is told that what God has cleansed should not be called common, challenging the dietary restrictions of Leviticus 10:13.
Acts 10:15: And the voice [spake] unto him again the second time, What God hath cleansed, [that] call not thou common.
Contradiction with Romans 14:14
Paul considers no food unclean in itself, which contradicts the specific dietary commands in Leviticus 10:13.
Romans 14:14: I know, and am persuaded by the Lord Jesus, that [there is] nothing unclean of itself: but to him that esteemeth any thing to be unclean, to him [it is] unclean. [unclean: Gr. common]
Contradiction with 1 Timothy 4:3-5
This passage states that all food is to be received with thanksgiving, which contrasts with the specific dietary regulations in Leviticus 10:13.
1 Timothy 4:3-5: Forbidding to marry, [and commanding] to abstain from meats, which God hath created to be received with thanksgiving of them which believe and know the truth.
Paradox #1
Leviticus 10:13 discusses specific instructions for priests regarding eating offerings. A potential moral inconsistency might arise when comparing these detailed rituals to broader themes of fairness and equality. While the verse strictly regulates priestly behavior, it contrasts with the more universal messages of compassion and justice found elsewhere in the Bible. This can create tension between following strict religious rules and embracing more inclusive moral values.
