Contradiction with Exodus 29:27-28
These verses describe the wave offering and heave offering portions given to the priests, which might suggest a shared responsibility, unlike Leviticus 7:9 where the details for the priest taking the offering are more specific.
Exodus 29:27-28: And thou shalt sanctify the breast of the wave offering, and the shoulder of the heave offering, which is waved, and which is heaved up, of the ram of the consecration, [even] of [that] which [is] for Aaron, and of [that] which is for his sons:
Contradiction with Numbers 18:8-9
In these verses, offerings are described as perpetual statutes meant for the priests, suggesting a broader sharing of offerings rather than the specific ownership indicated in Leviticus 7:9.
Numbers 18:8-9: And the LORD spake unto Aaron, Behold, I also have given thee the charge of mine heave offerings of all the hallowed things of the children of Israel; unto thee have I given them by reason of the anointing, and to thy sons, by an ordinance for ever.
Contradiction with 1 Samuel 2:13-14
These verses describe the corrupt practices of Eli's sons regarding what they took from the offerings, highlighting a misuse or misunderstanding of the distribution described in Leviticus 7:9.
1 Samuel 2:13-14: And the priests' custom with the people [was, that], when any man offered sacrifice, the priest's servant came, while the flesh was in seething, with a fleshhook of three teeth in his hand;
Contradiction with Hebrews 7:12
This verse speaks of a change in the priesthood and consequently a change in the law, implying potential flexibility or adaptation from the practices set in Leviticus 7:9.
Hebrews 7:12: For the priesthood being changed, there is made of necessity a change also of the law.
Paradox #1
Leviticus 7:9 could present a contradiction or inconsistency for some people because it deals with the allocation of offerings or sacrifices and how they are to be distributed among priests. This particular rule may seem inconsistent with the idea of fairness or equality in resource distribution, especially when considering other biblical teachings about sharing and caring for the poor. Some might see a conflict between this specific regulation and broader moral principles about generosity and equity.
