Paradox #1
One possible contradiction could be in relation to other parts of the Bible that prescribe different laws or requirements for Israelites and foreigners. Some areas of the Old Testament have laws that are specific to Israelites, which might seem to clash with the idea of having the same law for everyone. This could create confusion over whether certain laws apply universally or not.
Paradox #2
The contradiction or inconsistency could arise if someone perceives a conflict between the principle of equal justice outlined in the verse and other biblical passages that prescribe different laws or consequences for different groups of people. This might be seen as inconsistent with the idea of uniform treatment for all people.
