Contradictions and Paradoxes in Leviticus 25:9

Check out Contradictions Catalog of Leviticus 25:9 for the comprehensive list of verses that contradicts Leviticus 25:9. Some key contradictions and paradoxes are described below.

According to Moses, God told his people to blow a loud trumpet on a special day called the Day of Atonement, during the seventh month. This sound would remind everyone to be happy and free, celebrating a time of forgiveness and starting fresh.

Leviticus 25:9: Then shalt thou cause the trumpet of the jubile to sound on the tenth [day] of the seventh month, in the day of atonement shall ye make the trumpet sound throughout all your land. [of the jubile: Heb. loud of sound]

Contradiction with Matthew 5:17

This verse states Jesus came not to destroy the law, but to fulfill it, which could be seen as a contradiction to any human decision on when to declare jubilees, as God’s law would technically need no alteration or human intervention.

Matthew 5:17: Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil.

Contradiction with Colossians 2:16-17

It suggests that religious festivals, including sabbaths and years of jubilee, are a shadow of what is to come through Christ and may not hold the absolute ceremonial necessity as they did under Old Testament law.

Colossians 2:16-17: Let no man therefore judge you in meat, or in drink, or in respect of an holyday, or of the new moon, or of the sabbath [days]: [in meat...: or, for eating and drinking] [respect: or, part]

Contradiction with Galatians 3:28

This verse emphasizes unity in Christ beyond the specific practices and observances like those outlined in Leviticus 25, potentially contradicting the specific societal order such practices maintain.

Galatians 3:28: There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female: for ye are all one in Christ Jesus.

Contradiction with Hebrews 8:13

Declares the old covenant obsolete, which includes laws like the one in Leviticus 25:9, suggesting they are no longer binding for believers under the new covenant.

Hebrews 8:13: In that he saith, A new [covenant], he hath made the first old. Now that which decayeth and waxeth old [is] ready to vanish away.

Contradiction with Romans 14:5

Indicates that one person might consider one day more sacred than another, while someone else considers every day alike, contradicting the strict observance of Jubilee as described in Leviticus.

Romans 14:5: One man esteemeth one day above another: another esteemeth every day [alike]. Let every man be fully persuaded in his own mind. [fully persuaded: or, fully assured]
