Contradiction with Leviticus 25:23
This verse states that the land is not to be sold permanently, for it belongs to God, which contradicts the notion of permanent sale outlined in Leviticus 25:30.
Leviticus 25:23: The land shall not be sold for ever: for the land [is] mine; for ye [are] strangers and sojourners with me. [for ever: or, to be quite cut off: Heb. for cutting off]
Contradiction with Acts 4:32
Describes the early Christians having all things in common and selling land to distribute to anyone who had need, opposing the permanent ownership concept in Leviticus 25:30.
Acts 4:32: And the multitude of them that believed were of one heart and of one soul: neither said any [of them] that ought of the things which he possessed was his own; but they had all things common.
Contradiction with Ezekiel 46:18
Kings are not to dispossess people of their inherited land, indicating that land should return to families, which conflicts with the permanent sale idea in Leviticus 25:30.
Ezekiel 46:18: Moreover the prince shall not take of the people's inheritance by oppression, to thrust them out of their possession; [but] he shall give his sons inheritance out of his own possession: that my people be not scattered every man from his possession.
Paradox #1
Leviticus 25:30 could be seen as inconsistent with the idea of ancestral land in the Bible. The verse implies that some property can be permanently lost and not returned during the Jubilee year, which may seem to contradict the concept elsewhere in the Bible that land should remain within a family and be restored. This could be seen as conflicting with the idea of fair distribution and family inheritance.
Paradox #2
This verse can raise moral questions about fairness and equality. It deals with property laws that might benefit some people over others based on wealth or status, leading to potential conflict with ideals of justice or compassion for all.
