Contradiction with Galatians 3:28
This verse states there is neither male nor female in Christ, implying equality that contradicts the idea of a woman being subject to her husband's authority as suggested in Numbers 30:7.
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 Ephesians 5:21
This verse advocates for mutual submission in relationships, which contrasts with the authority dynamic presented in Numbers 30:7.
Ephesians 5:21: Submitting yourselves one to another in the fear of God.
Contradiction with Genesis 1:27
This verse speaks to the creation of male and female in God's image, suggesting equal standing which contradicts the hierarchical implication of Numbers 30:7.
Genesis 1:27: So God created man in his [own] image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.
Contradiction with 1 Corinthians 7:4
This verse indicates that a husband does not have authority over his wife alone, but likewise, the wife has authority over the husband, contradicting the unilateral authority implied in Numbers 30:7.
1 Corinthians 7:4: The wife hath not power of her own body, but the husband: and likewise also the husband hath not power of his own body, but the wife.
Paradox #1
This verse might be seen as conflicting because it suggests that a woman's commitments or promises can be overruled by her husband, which could be seen as inconsistent with modern views on individual autonomy and gender equality. This reflects a historical context where women's independence was limited.
