Contradiction with Exodus 12:5
This verse requires a lamb without blemish that is a male of the first year, differing from the age requirement in Leviticus 22:27 for offerings to be at least eight days old.
Exodus 12:5: Your lamb shall be without blemish, a male of the first year: ye shall take [it] out from the sheep, or from the goats: [of...: Heb. son of a year]
Contradiction with Deuteronomy 15:21
This verse states that if an animal has a defect or blemish, it cannot be sacrificed, contradicting Leviticus 22:27's requirement for waiting until the eighth day that implies accepting healthy young animals at that age.
Deuteronomy 15:21: And if there be [any] blemish therein, [as if it be] lame, or blind, [or have] any ill blemish, thou shalt not sacrifice it unto the LORD thy God.
Contradiction with Genesis 22:7-8
Abraham offers his son as a potential sacrifice, which contradicts the animal offering procedure outlined in Leviticus 22:27.
Genesis 22:7-8: And Isaac spake unto Abraham his father, and said, My father: and he said, Here [am] I, my son. And he said, Behold the fire and the wood: but where [is] the lamb for a burnt offering? [lamb: or, kid]
Paradox #1
Leviticus 22:27 discusses the appropriate age for offering animals as sacrifices. A possible scientific inconsistency here is the ancient understanding of animal biology and development. Modern science shows that animal maturity and health depend on species-specific developmental stages, which aren't the same for all animals. The specific timing mentioned in this verse doesn't align with the nuanced understanding provided by animal science today.
Paradox #2
The moral conflict in this verse might arise from the treatment of animals. Some people may feel that requiring a newborn animal to stay with its mother for a specific time before it can be sacrificed is inconsistent with compassion for animal life. This could be seen as conflicting with modern views on animal welfare and ethical treatment.
