Contradiction with Proverbs 13:4

Paradox #1

Leviticus 25:6 speaks about resting the land and sharing its produce during the Sabbath year. The potential contradiction might be in the fairness of distribution. While it's intended to ensure everyone, including servants and foreigners, can benefit equally from the land's produce, in practice, those with more power or resources might still find ways to exploit the system for their own benefit, leading to inequality.
