Contradiction with Deuteronomy 24:16

This verse states individuals shall be put to death for their own sins, not for the sins of their parents, whereas Numbers 27:3 mentions a father's death in the wilderness due to his own sin.

Paradox #1

The potential contradiction in Numbers 27:3 lies in the context of inheritance rights. Traditionally, inheritance was passed through male descendants, but this verse highlights a situation where inheritance rights needed to be addressed for daughters. It can seem inconsistent with the patriarchal norms of the time, as it raises questions about gender equality and fairness in inheritance laws. This situation suggests a conflict between established customs and evolving moral understandings of justice and equality.
