Contradiction with Galatians 3:28
This verse suggests equality between all people in Christ, which may contrast with Numbers 30:10's assumption of differing roles based on gender.
Galatians 3:28: There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female: for ye are all one in Christ Jesus.
Contradiction with Matthew 5:33-37
This verse advises against making vows or oaths altogether, suggesting a different approach to commitments and promises.
Matthew 5:33-37: Again, ye have heard that it hath been said by them of old time, Thou shalt not forswear thyself, but shalt perform unto the Lord thine oaths:
Contradiction with James 5:12
This verse also advises against swearing oaths, contrasting with the emphasis on vows in Numbers 30:10.
James 5:12: But above all things, my brethren, swear not, neither by heaven, neither by the earth, neither by any other oath: but let your yea be yea; and [your] nay, nay; lest ye fall into condemnation.
Paradox #1
The contradiction in this verse could be related to the different standards or rules for men and women, particularly about vows and commitments. It may seem inconsistent or unfair in a modern context where gender equality is emphasized, as it might imply that women need external validation or approval for their decisions in situations where men do not.
