Check out Contradictions Catalog of Numbers 9:12 for the comprehensive list of verses that contradicts Numbers 9:12. Some key contradictions and paradoxes are described below.

According to the author of Numbers, God wanted the people to eat a special meal in a certain way and not save any leftovers for the next day. They also had to be very careful not to break any bones of the lamb they ate, just like they did during the first Passover.

Numbers 9:12: They shall leave none of it unto the morning, nor break any bone of it: according to all the ordinances of the passover they shall keep it.

Contradiction with Leviticus 7:15

Whereas the meat of the sacrifice in Numbers 9:12 must not be left until the morning, Leviticus 7:15 allows the flesh of the peace offerings for thanksgiving to be eaten on the same day with none to remain until the morning.

Leviticus 7:15: And the flesh of the sacrifice of his peace offerings for thanksgiving shall be eaten the same day that it is offered; he shall not leave any of it until the morning.

Contradiction with Deuteronomy 16:4

Numbers 9:12 requires that no bone of the Passover lamb is broken, but Deuteronomy 16:4 states that no leaven should be present within any of the borders of Israel for seven days, and mentions nothing about the bones.

Deuteronomy 16:4: And there shall be no leavened bread seen with thee in all thy coast seven days; neither shall there [any thing] of the flesh, which thou sacrificedst the first day at even, remain all night until the morning.

Contradiction with John 19:36

While Numbers 9:12 relates to the Passover observance, John 19:36 connects not breaking a bone with the crucifixion of Jesus, suggesting a New Testament interpretation.

John 19:36: For these things were done, that the scripture should be fulfilled, A bone of him shall not be broken.

Contradiction with 1 Corinthians 5:7

Numbers 9:12 discusses the physical aspect of preparing the Passover, while 1 Corinthians 5:7 metaphorically declares Christ as our Passover, focusing on spiritual implications.

1 Corinthians 5:7: Purge out therefore the old leaven, that ye may be a new lump, as ye are unleavened. For even Christ our passover is sacrificed for us: [is sacrificed; or, is slain]
