Contradiction with Numbers 23:19
Unlike Numbers 7:23, which details a specific instance of a priestly offering, Numbers 23:19 affirms that God does not lie or change his mind, suggesting consistency.
Numbers 23:19: God [is] not a man, that he should lie; neither the son of man, that he should repent: hath he said, and shall he not do [it]? or hath he spoken, and shall he not make it good?
Contradiction with Leviticus 9:7
In contrast to the singular offering in Numbers 7:23, this verse outlines a series of offerings required for atonement, reflecting a more complex sacrificial system.
Leviticus 9:7: And Moses said unto Aaron, Go unto the altar, and offer thy sin offering, and thy burnt offering, and make an atonement for thyself, and for the people: and offer the offering of the people, and make an atonement for them; as the LORD commanded.
Contradiction with Hebrews 10:4
Challenges the efficacy of offerings like those in Numbers 7:23 by stating that it is not possible for the blood of bulls and goats to take away sins.
Hebrews 10:4: For [it is] not possible that the blood of bulls and of goats should take away sins.

Contradiction with 1 Samuel 15:22
Prefers obedience over sacrifice, countering the importance of physical offerings depicted in Numbers 7:23.
1 Samuel 15:22: And Samuel said, Hath the LORD [as great] delight in burnt offerings and sacrifices, as in obeying the voice of the LORD? Behold, to obey [is] better than sacrifice, [and] to hearken than the fat of rams.
Contradiction with Isaiah 1:11
Criticizes the multitude of sacrifices, questioning their value, which contrasts with the detailed offering procedures of Numbers 7:23.
Isaiah 1:11: To what purpose [is] the multitude of your sacrifices unto me? saith the LORD: I am full of the burnt offerings of rams, and the fat of fed beasts; and I delight not in the blood of bullocks, or of lambs, or of he goats. [he goats: Heb. great he goats]
