Contradiction with Exodus 29:43-44
These verses discuss the consecration of the tabernacle and priests, implying the necessity of presence in holy places, which may seem at odds with Leviticus 10:7, considering Aaron's sons couldn't leave after defilement.
Exodus 29:43-44: And there I will meet with the children of Israel, and [the tabernacle] shall be sanctified by my glory. [the tabernacle: or, Israel]
Contradiction with Numbers 6:6
The Nazirite vow requires not approaching a dead body, yet Leviticus 10:7 tells priests not to leave the sanctuary despite the deaths of Nadab and Abihu.
Numbers 6:6: All the days that he separateth [himself] unto the LORD he shall come at no dead body.
Contradiction with Ezekiel 44:25
Priests are permitted to defile themselves for close family, which contrasts with the instruction in Leviticus 10:7 for Aaron and his sons not to leave the sanctuary after their brothers' deaths.
Ezekiel 44:25: And they shall come at no dead person to defile themselves: but for father, or for mother, or for son, or for daughter, for brother, or for sister that hath had no husband, they may defile themselves.
Contradiction with Matthew 8:21-22
Jesus' statement “let the dead bury their own dead” implies a prioritization of divine duty over familial obligation, somewhat aligning yet contrasting the physical restriction in Leviticus 10:7.
Matthew 8:21-22: And another of his disciples said unto him, Lord, suffer me first to go and bury my father.
Contradiction with Luke 9:59-60
This reiterates the theme of prioritizing spiritual obligations over earthly duties, differing from the physical prohibition in Leviticus 10:7.
Luke 9:59-60: And he said unto another, Follow me. But he said, Lord, suffer me first to go and bury my father.
