Contradiction with Genesis 5:27
This verse states the age of Methuselah, which contradicts with the timeline focus in Nehemiah 12:22 by highlighting a much earlier biblical timeline.
Genesis 5:27: And all the days of Methuselah were nine hundred sixty and nine years: and he died.
Contradiction with Joshua 24:32
This verse discusses the bones of Joseph being buried in Shechem, contrasting Nehemiah 12:22 which deals with priestly registries in a different context.
Joshua 24:32: And the bones of Joseph, which the children of Israel brought up out of Egypt, buried they in Shechem, in a parcel of ground which Jacob bought of the sons of Hamor the father of Shechem for an hundred pieces of silver: and it became the inheritance of the children of Joseph. [pieces...: or, lambs]
Contradiction with Ezra 2:62
This verse explains that a group could not find their genealogical records, while Nehemiah 12:22 speaks to the recording of priestly genealogies.
Ezra 2:62: These sought their register [among] those that were reckoned by genealogy, but they were not found: therefore were they, as polluted, put from the priesthood. [were they...: Heb. they were polluted from the priesthood]
Contradiction with 1 Kings 6:1
Provides a different timeline for temple construction that seems unrelated to the priestly timescale in Nehemiah 12:22.
1 Kings 6:1: And it came to pass in the four hundred and eightieth year after the children of Israel were come out of the land of Egypt, in the fourth year of Solomon's reign over Israel, in the month Zif, which [is] the second month, that he began to build the house of the LORD. [began...: Heb. built]
Contradiction with Matthew 1:1
Details genealogy of Jesus, contradicting with Nehemiah 12:22 by focusing on the Messianic line rather than the Levite priests.
Matthew 1:1: The book of the generation of Jesus Christ, the son of David, the son of Abraham.
Contradiction with Hebrews 7:3
Contrasts with Nehemiah 12:22 which seeks to identify specific genealogies by stating Melchizedek was without genealogy.
Hebrews 7:3: Without father, without mother, without descent, having neither beginning of days, nor end of life; but made like unto the Son of God; abideth a priest continually. [without descent: Gr. without pedigree]
