Contradiction with Jeremiah 31:34

Refers to a future covenant where no one will need to teach their neighbor about God, which would make the delegating act in Numbers 11:24 unnecessary.

Jeremiah 31:34: And they shall teach no more every man his neighbour, and every man his brother, saying, Know the LORD: for they shall all know me, from the least of them unto the greatest of them, saith the LORD: for I will forgive their iniquity, and I will remember their sin no more.
