Contradiction with Deuteronomy 12:11
This verse indicates that offerings should be brought to a designated place, contrasting with Numbers 15:18, which implies offering requirements are tied to entering a new land.
Deuteronomy 12:11: Then there shall be a place which the LORD your God shall choose to cause his name to dwell there; thither shall ye bring all that I command you; your burnt offerings, and your sacrifices, your tithes, and the heave offering of your hand, and all your choice vows which ye vow unto the LORD: [your choice...: Heb. the choice of your vows]
