Contradictions and Paradoxes in Leviticus 18:28

Check out Contradictions Catalog of Leviticus 18:28 for the comprehensive list of verses that contradicts Leviticus 18:28. Some key contradictions and paradoxes are described below.

According to the author of Leviticus, God is telling the people to behave well and follow His rules, or else the land will get rid of them, just like it did to others who didn't listen. It's like when we have to follow rules at home or school to stay in good standing with our family or teachers.

Leviticus 18:28: That the land spue not you out also, when ye defile it, as it spued out the nations that [were] before you.

Contradiction with Deuteronomy 30:9

Promises prosperity for obeying God, opposing the punishment threatened in Leviticus for disobedience.

Deuteronomy 30:9: And the LORD thy God will make thee plenteous in every work of thine hand, in the fruit of thy body, and in the fruit of thy cattle, and in the fruit of thy land, for good: for the LORD will again rejoice over thee for good, as he rejoiced over thy fathers:

Contradiction with Jeremiah 12:14-15

God promises to have compassion and restore land, contradicting the idea of land expulsion in Leviticus.

Jeremiah 12:14-15: Thus saith the LORD against all mine evil neighbours, that touch the inheritance which I have caused my people Israel to inherit; Behold, I will pluck them out of their land, and pluck out the house of Judah from among them.

Contradiction with Ezekiel 36:24-28

God promises to gather and bless Israel regardless of their past sins, unlike the consequence of being expelled from land in Leviticus.

Ezekiel 36:24-28: For I will take you from among the heathen, and gather you out of all countries, and will bring you into your own land.

Contradiction with Psalms 37:29

Assures the righteous will inherit the land permanently, conflicting with the expulsion warning in Leviticus.

Psalms 37:29: The righteous shall inherit the land, and dwell therein for ever.

Paradox #1

The contradiction in Leviticus 18:28 could arise from the fact that the verse suggests a conditional relationship where the land is affected by the people's behavior, which can conflict with the idea of personal responsibility for one's own moral actions. This may seem inconsistent with more personal forms of morality, where the consequences are not externalized to the environment.
