Paradox #1
Leviticus 8:33 focuses on a command given to priests. A potential contradiction could be that this command might conflict with the personal freedoms and autonomy of the individuals involved, as it imposes a strict religious obligation that limits their choices and movements. This could be seen as conflicting with more modern values of personal freedom and individual rights.
