Contradiction with Romans 14:5
This verse implies that individual discretion is allowed regarding the observance of special days, challenging the specific and communal timing in Leviticus 23:5.

Contradiction with Colossians 2:16
This verse advises not to let anyone judge you about festivals or Sabbath days, contradicting the strict adherence required in Leviticus 23:5.

Contradiction with Galatians 4:10-11

Galatians 4:10-11: Ye observe days, and months, and times, and years.
Paradox #1
Leviticus 23:5 refers to the timing of a specific religious observance. A contradiction or inconsistency might arise when comparing this with the timing of similar observances mentioned elsewhere in the Bible or in Jewish tradition, where dates or descriptions might not align perfectly. Such inconsistencies can stem from different calendar systems or interpretations of ancient texts.
