Paradox #1
The contradiction or inconsistency in Leviticus 14:21 could arise from the differing requirements for offerings based on a person's financial status. This could be seen as inconsistent with the idea of equal treatment, as it prescribes a less costly offering for those who are poor, which might conflict with the principle that spiritual responsibilities should be the same for everyone, regardless of wealth.
