Contradiction with James 1:17
Where Numbers 7:20 involves offerings brought by a leader for dedication, James 1:17 states that every good gift and perfect gift is from above, implying that true gifts and blessings originate from God, not human offerings.
James 1:17: Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and cometh down from the Father of lights, with whom is no variableness, neither shadow of turning.
Contradiction with Proverbs 21:3
Numbers 7:20 involves ritual offerings, whereas Proverbs 21:3 suggests doing justice and judgment is more acceptable to the Lord than sacrifice.
Proverbs 21:3: To do justice and judgment [is] more acceptable to the LORD than sacrifice.
Contradiction with Hosea 6:6
Numbers 7:20 describes an offering that represents ritual observance, while Hosea 6:6 indicates God desires mercy and acknowledgment of Him rather than burnt offerings.
Hosea 6:6: For I desired mercy, and not sacrifice; and the knowledge of God more than burnt offerings.
Contradiction with Matthew 9:13
While Numbers 7:20 documents a ceremonial offering, Matthew 9:13 emphasizes mercy over sacrifice, contrasting ritual acts with ethical behavior.
Matthew 9:13: But go ye and learn what [that] meaneth, I will have mercy, and not sacrifice: for I am not come to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance.
