Contradiction with Leviticus 25:36-37

Contradiction with Deuteronomy 23:19-20
Deuteronomy advises against charging interest to fellow Israelites, contrasting with the lending practice mentioned in Nehemiah 5:10.

Contradiction with Psalm 15:5
This verse describes a righteous person as one who does not lend money at interest, which contradicts the practice addressed in Nehemiah 5:10.

Paradox #1
Nehemiah 5:10 discusses lending money and grain to others without charging interest. The moral conflict could be that, in some parts of the Bible, lending with interest is shown as acceptable or a common practice, leading to inconsistency in how financial dealings should be approached. This could cause confusion about whether charging interest is morally right or wrong.
