Contradiction with Numbers 23:19
This verse suggests that God does not change His mind, contrasting with the offerings in Numbers 7:81 which imply a human-like changeability in response to sacrificial acts.
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 Exodus 20:3
The commandment against having other gods contrasts with the rituals described in Numbers 7:81, where specific detailed offerings may suggest a ritualistic approach not aligned with spiritual devotion.
Exodus 20:3: Thou shalt have no other gods before me.
Contradiction with Isaiah 1:11
This verse questions the value of burnt offerings, contrasting with Numbers 7:81, which details such offerings.
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 1 Samuel 15:22
Emphasizes obedience over sacrifice while Numbers 7:81 details the sacrifices themselves.

Contradiction with Hebrews 10:4
States that it is impossible for the blood of bulls and goats to take away sins, contradicting the sacrificial emphasis in Numbers 7:81.
Hebrews 10:4: For [it is] not possible that the blood of bulls and of goats should take away sins.
Contradiction with Hosea 6:6
God desires mercy, not sacrifice, which differs from the sacrificial practices detailed in Numbers 7:81.
Hosea 6:6: For I desired mercy, and not sacrifice; and the knowledge of God more than burnt offerings.
Contradiction with Mark 12:33
Suggests that loving God and neighbor is more important than offerings and sacrifices, unlike the rituals outlined in Numbers 7:81.
