Contradiction with Matthew 5:17
Leviticus 27:9 discusses rules strictly about offerings, while Matthew 5:17 indicates Jesus fulfilling and transcending the old laws, which could imply a shift away from the strict rules outlined in Leviticus.
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 Hebrews 10:8-9
Leviticus 27:9 emphasizes specific offerings, while Hebrews 10:8-9 suggests that God takes no pleasure in traditional offerings and introduces the idea of a new covenant.
Hebrews 10:8-9: Above when he said, Sacrifice and offering and burnt offerings and [offering] for sin thou wouldest not, neither hadst pleasure [therein]; which are offered by the law;
Contradiction with Psalm 40:6
Enunciates God’s disinterest in specific sacrifices, contrasting with the emphasis on exact animal offerings in Leviticus 27:9.
Psalm 40:6: Sacrifice and offering thou didst not desire; mine ears hast thou opened: burnt offering and sin offering hast thou not required. [opened: Heb. digged]
Contradiction with Hosea 6:6
Highlights a preference for mercy over sacrifice, which could contradict the detailed sacrificial laws in Leviticus 27:9.
Hosea 6:6: For I desired mercy, and not sacrifice; and the knowledge of God more than burnt offerings.
Contradiction with Isaiah 1:11
God questions the value of multitudes of sacrifices, challenging the necessity prescribed in Leviticus 27:9.
Isaiah 1:11: To what purpose [is] the multitude of your sacrifices unto me? saith the LORD: I am full of the burnt offerings of rams, and the fat of fed beasts; and I delight not in the blood of bullocks, or of lambs, or of he goats. [he goats: Heb. great he goats]
Contradiction with Amos 5:21-22
Indicates divine dissatisfaction with Israel's sacrifices despite sacrificial systems championed in Leviticus 27:9.
Amos 5:21-22: I hate, I despise your feast days, and I will not smell in your solemn assemblies. [in...: or, your holy days]
Paradox #1
Leviticus 27:9 deals with dedicating animals to the Lord, stating they become holy. A potential conflict arises when comparing this with New Testament teachings, like in Hebrews 10:4, which states it is impossible for the blood of bulls and goats to take away sins. The contradiction is between the Old Testament's focus on animal offerings and the New Testament’s emphasis on faith in Christ's sacrifice.
Paradox #2
The contradiction in Leviticus 27:9 can arise from the practice of dedicating animals to God and the idea of sacrificing them. Some people might find it inconsistent with the concept of compassion towards animals. It can present a conflict for those who value both religious devotion and ethical treatment of animals.
