According to Moses, if a priest looks at a spot on something, like clothes or skin, and it hasn't changed or gotten better after being washed, it is not clean and needs to be burned. This was a way to keep people safe from spreading sickness.

Leviticus 13:55: And the priest shall look on the plague, after that it is washed: and, behold, [if] the plague have not changed his colour, and the plague be not spread; it [is] unclean; thou shalt burn it in the fire; it [is] fret inward, [whether] it [be] bare within or without. [whether...: Heb. whether it be bald in the head thereof, or in the forehead thereof]

Contradiction with Matthew 7:1

This verse instructs not to judge others, while Leviticus 13:55 involves judging the condition of a garment for cleanliness.

Matthew 7:1: Judge not, that ye be not judged.

Contradiction with Romans 10:4

This verse states that Christ is the end of the law, which includes the Levitical laws, suggesting they are no longer applicable.

Contradiction with Colossians 2:16-17

This passage advises not to let others judge in matters of religious laws, such as those in Leviticus.

Colossians 2:16-17: Let no man therefore judge you in meat, or in drink, or in respect of an holyday, or of the new moon, or of the sabbath [days]: [in meat...: or, for eating and drinking] [respect: or, part]

Contradiction with Galatians 5:1

This verse emphasizes freedom from the old law, contrasting with the regulations of Leviticus 13.

Galatians 5:1: Stand fast therefore in the liberty wherewith Christ hath made us free, and be not entangled again with the yoke of bondage.

Contradiction with Hebrews 8:13

This passage indicates the old covenant is obsolete, conflicting with the ongoing application of Leviticus 13:55.

Hebrews 8:13: In that he saith, A new [covenant], he hath made the first old. Now that which decayeth and waxeth old [is] ready to vanish away.

Paradox #1

The potential contradiction or conflict could relate to the focus on ritual purity laws, which might seem inconsistent with the notion of compassion or love for others. These laws can be seen as prioritizing purity over people's wellbeing or inclusion. Additionally, the detailed and strict nature of purity laws might be seen as being in tension with the broader moral teachings of fairness and kindness.
