Contradiction with John 8:7
This verse suggests that only the sinless should cast judgment, contradicting the process outlined in Numbers 5:29.

Contradiction with 1 Corinthians 13:7

1 Corinthians 13:7: Beareth all things, believeth all things, hopeth all things, endureth all things.
Contradiction with James 2:13
This verse teaches that mercy triumphs over judgment, contradicting the procedure of judgment in Numbers 5:29.
James 2:13: For he shall have judgment without mercy, that hath shewed no mercy; and mercy rejoiceth against judgment. [rejoiceth: or, glorieth]
Paradox #1
Numbers 5:29 could be seen as morally conflicting for some because it involves a ritual where a husband could subject his wife to a test to determine her fidelity, which might be viewed as a violation of the wife's dignity and autonomy. This could raise questions about gender inequality and fairness, as similar tests are not prescribed for husbands.
