Contradiction with Exodus 20:4
This verse explicitly forbids making any graven images, aligning with the prohibition in Leviticus 19:4 against idols, rather than contradicting it.

Contradiction with Deuteronomy 5:8
Similar to Exodus 20:4, this verse prohibits making graven images, which is consistent with Leviticus 19:4.
Deuteronomy 5:8: Thou shalt not make thee [any] graven image, [or] any likeness [of any thing] that [is] in heaven above, or that [is] in the earth beneath, or that [is] in the waters beneath the earth:
Contradiction with Isaiah 44:9
This verse mocks the creation of idols, upholding the teaching in Leviticus 19:4 rather than contradicting it.
Isaiah 44:9: They that make a graven image [are] all of them vanity; and their delectable things shall not profit; and they [are] their own witnesses; they see not, nor know; that they may be ashamed. [delectable: Heb. desirable]
Contradiction with Acts 17:29
Instructs against crafting image representations of God, supporting the notion in Leviticus 19:4.
Acts 17:29: Forasmuch then as we are the offspring of God, we ought not to think that the Godhead is like unto gold, or silver, or stone, graven by art and man's device.
Paradox #1
Moral contradictions or conflicts might arise regarding cultural and religious differences in idol-making practices. While the verse advises against making idols, other cultures or belief systems may view idol creation as a meaningful or sacred practice. This can create tension or inconsistency for those who encounter diverse traditions or belief systems that involve idolatry.
