These verses contradict Leviticus 27:15 by emphasizing storing treasures in heaven rather than redeeming earthly possessions, which Leviticus 27:15 supports.

Matthew 6:19-20: Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon earth, where moth and rust doth corrupt, and where thieves break through and steal:

Contradiction with Acts 4:32

This verse presents a communal sharing of possessions, contrasting with the individual redemption of property rights in Leviticus 27:15.

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 Matthew 19:21

Jesus advises selling possessions and giving to the poor, which contradicts the concept of redeeming property for oneself in Leviticus 27:15.

Contradiction with Luke 12:33

Here, Jesus advises selling possessions and giving alms, advocating for a focus on heavenly treasures, opposing the earthly redemption of property in Leviticus 27:15.

Luke 12:33: Sell that ye have, and give alms; provide yourselves bags which wax not old, a treasure in the heavens that faileth not, where no thief approacheth, neither moth corrupteth.

Contradiction with Hebrews 13:5

The verse's message of being content with what you have contradicts the focus on redeeming and valuing property found in Leviticus 27:15.

Hebrews 13:5: [Let your] conversation [be] without covetousness; [and be] content with such things as ye have: for he hath said, I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee.

Paradox #1

One possible contradiction with this verse could be the idea of valuing sacred things with money. It might seem inconsistent with the concept of spiritual or religious devotion if sacred things, dedicated to God, can be redeemed or bought back for money. This might conflict with the belief that spiritual commitments should not be equated with financial transactions.
