Contradiction with Galatians 3:28
Numbers 30:8 discusses a father's authority over his daughter's vows, whereas Galatians 3:28 asserts that in Christ, there is neither male nor female, implying equality.
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 5:37
Numbers 30:8 allows a father to nullify his daughter's vow, whereas Matthew 5:37 teaches to let your yes be yes and your no be no, suggesting individual responsibility for one's words.
Matthew 5:37: But let your communication be, Yea, yea; Nay, nay: for whatsoever is more than these cometh of evil.
Contradiction with James 5:12
Similar to Matthew 5:37, this verse advises straightforward honesty in speech, contrasting with Numbers 30:8 which allows another person to overrule a commitment.
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
Numbers 30:8 could raise questions about gender roles and authority within marriage as described in biblical texts. Some may see a contradiction with the idea of mutual respect and equality between spouses. This verse might seem inconsistent with other scriptures that emphasize the importance of both partners supporting each other's decisions equally.
