Contradictions and Paradoxes in Leviticus 2:10

Check out Contradictions Catalog of Leviticus 2:10 for the comprehensive list of verses that contradicts Leviticus 2:10. Some key contradictions and paradoxes are described below.

According to Moses, the man who wrote the book, the leftover part of this special gift of flour given to God by fire was meant for Aaron and his sons, who were God's special helpers. This leftover was very special and holy.

Leviticus 2:10: And that which is left of the meat offering [shall be] Aaron's and his sons': [it is] a thing most holy of the offerings of the LORD made by fire.

Contradiction with Numbers 18:14

Unlike Leviticus 2:10, which designates a portion of grain offerings for Aaron and his sons, this verse indicates that everything 'devoted' in Israel belongs to them, suggesting that the portion could be more all-encompassing.

Numbers 18:14: Every thing devoted in Israel shall be thine.

Contradiction with Hebrews 7:12

Whereas Leviticus 2:10 specifies a priestly portion of offerings, this verse speaks about the change in priesthood and the law, implying that the regulations, including offerings, have changed with Jesus.

Hebrews 7:12: For the priesthood being changed, there is made of necessity a change also of the law.

Contradiction with Matthew 5:17-18

Leviticus 2:10 specifies a part of grain offerings for Aaron's descendants, while this verse suggests fulfillment through Christ, setting a precedent for a new righteousness that might not align with the existing details of the law.

Matthew 5:17-18: Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil.

Contradiction with 1 Peter 2:9

This verse highlights the believers as a royal priesthood, potentially contradicting the specific mention of Aaron's descendants who receive offerings according to Leviticus 2:10.

1 Peter 2:9: But ye [are] a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvellous light: [peculiar: or, purchased] [praises: or, virtues]

Contradiction with Galatians 3:24-25

Contradicts by establishing that the law, including the ordinances like those in Leviticus 2:10, served to guide to Christ, who makes the old ceremonial laws obsolete.

Galatians 3:24-25: Wherefore the law was our schoolmaster [to bring us] unto Christ, that we might be justified by faith.

Paradox #1

The contradiction or inconsistency could be seen in the idea of offering food to God, while in other parts of the Bible, God is depicted as not needing anything from humans. It raises questions about why such offerings are needed if God is self-sufficient.
