Paradox #1
The contradiction in that verse could be related to the understanding of mold and mildew. In ancient times, mold or mildew in a house might have been seen as a spiritual or moral issue, while today science views it as a natural occurrence caused by environmental factors like moisture, which can be treated with cleaning or repairs. The ancient perspective and the modern scientific understanding of how to address such issues might not align.
