Contradiction with Amos 5:21
Amos expresses God's rejection of feast days and offerings, which contradicts Numbers 7:59's detailed account of an offering.
Amos 5:21: I hate, I despise your feast days, and I will not smell in your solemn assemblies. [in...: or, your holy days]
Contradiction with Isaiah 1:11
Isaiah questions the value of sacrifices and burnt offerings, in contrast to the emphasis on offerings in Numbers 7:59.
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]
Contradiction with Psalm 40:6
This verse suggests that God desires obedience over sacrifices, contradicting the focus on offerings in Numbers 7:59.
Psalm 40:6: Sacrifice and offering thou didst not desire; mine ears hast thou opened: burnt offering and sin offering hast thou not required. [opened: Heb. digged]
Contradiction with 1 Samuel 15:22
Suggests obedience is better than sacrifice, challenging the notion that offerings like in Numbers 7:59 are inherently pleasing to God.
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.
