According to Moses, this verse is about some people standing in front of their leaders, like Moses and a priest named Eleazar, to talk about something important with the whole community. They are speaking by the special tent where they meet with God.

Contradiction with 1 Corinthians 14:34

This verse instructs women to keep silence in churches, implying a limitation on their role, whereas Numbers 27:2 involves women directly approaching leaders for their rights.

1 Corinthians 14:34: Let your women keep silence in the churches: for it is not permitted unto them to speak; but [they are commanded] to be under obedience, as also saith the law.

Contradiction with 1 Timothy 2:12

This verse restricts women from teaching or having authority over men, contrasting with Numbers 27:2, where women approach with a matter of inheritance rights.

1 Timothy 2:12: But I suffer not a woman to teach, nor to usurp authority over the man, but to be in silence.

Contradiction with Deuteronomy 21:15-17

This passage emphasizes the rights of the firstborn son to a double portion, contrasting with the plea for daughters' inheritance rights in Numbers 27:2.

Deuteronomy 21:15-17: If a man have two wives, one beloved, and another hated, and they have born him children, [both] the beloved and the hated; and [if] the firstborn son be hers that was hated:

Contradiction with 1 Corinthians 11:8-9

This verse states that man was not made for the woman, but the woman for the man, which contrasts with the agency and assertiveness of the daughters in Numbers 27:2 seeking their inheritance.

1 Corinthians 11:8-9: For the man is not of the woman; but the woman of the man.

Contradiction with Ephesians 5:22-24

Ephesians 5:22-24: Wives, submit yourselves unto your own husbands, as unto the Lord.

Paradox #1

The contradiction or inconsistency in this verse could stem from the context of inheritance rights in biblical laws. Traditionally, inheritance was passed through male heirs, but in this verse, women approach Moses to claim their right to inheritance because their father had no sons. This challenges the prevailing societal norms of the time regarding gender roles and property rights, suggesting a possible conflict between cultural practices and the pursuit of justice or fairness.
