Contradiction with Exodus 12:15
This verse states that anyone who eats leavened bread during the Passover Feast will be cut off, whereas Numbers 9:10 provides a provision for those unable to keep Passover due to uncleanliness or being away on a journey.
Exodus 12:15: Seven days shall ye eat unleavened bread; even the first day ye shall put away leaven out of your houses: for whosoever eateth leavened bread from the first day until the seventh day, that soul shall be cut off from Israel.
Contradiction with Leviticus 23:29
This verse declares that anyone who does not afflict themselves during the Day of Atonement shall be cut off, in contrast to Numbers 9:10, which offers a second chance for those unable to celebrate Passover.
Leviticus 23:29: For whatsoever soul [it be] that shall not be afflicted in that same day, he shall be cut off from among his people.
Contradiction with Numbers 15:30-31
These verses state that anyone who sins presumptuously should be cut off and bear their sin, contradicting the leniency shown in Numbers 9:10 for those unable to participate in Passover.
Numbers 15:30-31: But the soul that doeth [ought] presumptuously, [whether he be] born in the land, or a stranger, the same reproacheth the LORD; and that soul shall be cut off from among his people. [presumptuously: Heb. with an high hand]
Contradiction with Exodus 12:19
Specifies that if anyone eats leavened bread during the seven days, they shall be cut off, contrasting with the allowance for missed Passover observance in Numbers 9:10.
Exodus 12:19: Seven days shall there be no leaven found in your houses: for whosoever eateth that which is leavened, even that soul shall be cut off from the congregation of Israel, whether he be a stranger, or born in the land.
Contradiction with Leviticus 7:20
States that anyone unclean who eats a peace offering shall be cut off, while Numbers 9:10 allows for contingency in observing Passover due to uncleanliness.
Leviticus 7:20: But the soul that eateth [of] the flesh of the sacrifice of peace offerings, that [pertain] unto the LORD, having his uncleanness upon him, even that soul shall be cut off from his people.
Contradiction with Deuteronomy 17:12
This verse says that anyone acting presumptuously by not listening to the priest shall die, unlike the consideration provided in Numbers 9:10.
Deuteronomy 17:12: And the man that will do presumptuously, and will not hearken unto the priest that standeth to minister there before the LORD thy God, or unto the judge, even that man shall die: and thou shalt put away the evil from Israel. [and will...: Heb. not to hearken]
Paradox #1
Numbers 9:10 addresses the situation where someone is unable to observe Passover due to being unclean or away on a journey, allowing them to celebrate it at a later time. The potential contradiction or inconsistency here might be seen in how it accommodates individual circumstances differently, compared to other biblical rules that do not seem to offer exceptions or flexibility for personal situations, which might be seen as a lack of consistency in applying strict religious laws.
