According to Moses, if a man doesn't have brothers, the things he owns should be given to another family member who's closest to him. This was a rule given by God for the people of Israel to follow.

Numbers 27:11: And if his father have no brethren, then ye shall give his inheritance unto his kinsman that is next to him of his family, and he shall possess it: and it shall be unto the children of Israel a statute of judgment, as the LORD commanded Moses.

Contradiction with Leviticus 25:46

This verse suggests that ownership and inheritance could be perpetual for certain classes, which contradicts the specific succession laws in Numbers 27:11.

Leviticus 25:46: And ye shall take them as an inheritance for your children after you, to inherit [them for] a possession; they shall be your bondmen for ever: but over your brethren the children of Israel, ye shall not rule one over another with rigour. [they...: Heb. ye shall serve yourselves with them]

Contradiction with Deuteronomy 21:16

This verse outlines inheritance rights favoring the firstborn, contradicting Numbers 27:11 which provides for inheritance for daughters.

Deuteronomy 21:16: Then it shall be, when he maketh his sons to inherit [that] which he hath, [that] he may not make the son of the beloved firstborn before the son of the hated, [which is indeed] the firstborn:

Contradiction with Matthew 19:29

This verse promotes leaving possessions and family for spiritual reasons, contradicting the detailed family inheritance laws in Numbers 27:11.

Matthew 19:29: And every one that hath forsaken houses, or brethren, or sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or children, or lands, for my name's sake, shall receive an hundredfold, and shall inherit everlasting life.

Paradox #1

Numbers 27:11 outlines inheritance laws regarding family and property. A possible historical inconsistency could be with earlier property laws or customs that didn't recognize the inheritance rights of daughters or distant relatives. This verse shows an adaptation to include females and non-direct male heirs, which might conflict with earlier rules that only favored direct male descendants.

Paradox #2

Numbers 27:11 deals with inheritance laws. A contradiction or conflict might arise if these inheritance laws are seen as unfair or biased towards certain family members, such as favoring men over women. This could clash with contemporary views on gender equality and fairness in distributing family resources.
