Paradox #1
Leviticus 23:32 discusses observing a special day from evening to evening. Some might see a contradiction with other parts of the Bible that refer to a day starting in the morning or at midnight, leading to different interpretations on when a day begins. This could create confusion around the timing of certain religious observances.
Paradox #2
Leviticus 23:32 talks about observing a day from evening to evening. A possible contradiction or inconsistency could be with how different cultures or parts of the Bible define the start of a day. Some traditions defined a day from morning to morning or sunrise to sunrise, rather than evening to evening, which might cause confusion or inconsistency in how to observe specific holy days.
