Contradiction with Amos 5:22
This verse suggests that offerings and sacrifices are not pleasing or accepted by God, which contradicts Numbers 15:5 that prescribes a drink offering as part of sacrificial rituals.
Amos 5:22: Though ye offer me burnt offerings and your meat offerings, I will not accept [them]: neither will I regard the peace offerings of your fat beasts. [peace...: or, thank offerings]
Contradiction with Psalm 40:6
This verse indicates that God does not desire sacrifices and offerings, contrasting with the instructions in Numbers 15:5 regarding offerings.
Psalm 40:6: Sacrifice and offering thou didst not desire; mine ears hast thou opened: burnt offering and sin offering hast thou not required. [opened: Heb. digged]
Contradiction with Isaiah 1:11
Here, God questions the value of sacrifices, in contradiction to the detailed offerings outlined in Numbers 15:5.
Isaiah 1:11: To what purpose [is] the multitude of your sacrifices unto me? saith the LORD: I am full of the burnt offerings of rams, and the fat of fed beasts; and I delight not in the blood of bullocks, or of lambs, or of he goats. [he goats: Heb. great he goats]
Contradiction with Hosea 6:6
This verse states that God desires mercy and knowledge of Him rather than burnt offerings, opposing the sacrificial directives seen in Numbers 15:5.
Hosea 6:6: For I desired mercy, and not sacrifice; and the knowledge of God more than burnt offerings.
