Leviticus 25:52 involves monetary redemption, whereas Matthew 5:42 encourages giving and lending freely without expectation of repayment, suggesting a generous disposition contrary to financial transactions for freedom.

Paradox #1
The contradiction in Leviticus 25:52 could arise from the broader context of the laws regarding slavery and freedom. The verse deals with the redemption price for a person who has sold themselves into servitude. The potential conflict is that while the Bible promotes the ideals of freedom and equality, it also contains laws that regulate and permit slavery, which contradicts those ideals.
