Contradiction with Exodus 6:20
This verse mentions that Amram took Jochebed his father's sister to wife, which can seem contradictory if considering kinship and genealogical emphasis compared to 1 Chronicles 6:3 listing descendants directly.
Exodus 6:20: And Amram took him Jochebed his father's sister to wife; and she bare him Aaron and Moses: and the years of the life of Amram [were] an hundred and thirty and seven years.
Contradiction with Numbers 26:59
This reference elaborates that Jochebed bore Amram Aaron, Moses, and Miriam, providing similar information but might be seen in contrast with the chronicler’s genealogical context.
Numbers 26:59: And the name of Amram's wife [was] Jochebed, the daughter of Levi, whom [her mother] bare to Levi in Egypt: and she bare unto Amram Aaron and Moses, and Miriam their sister.
Contradiction with Exodus 2:1-2
These verses refer to a Levite man taking a Levite woman to wife and having Moses without mentioning of Aaron or Miriam explicitly in early context, emphasizing Moses' birth.
Exodus 2:1-2: And there went a man of the house of Levi, and took [to wife] a daughter of Levi.
Contradiction with Deuteronomy 34:5-6
While not a direct contradiction, these verses depict Moses’ death focusing solely on him and not on Aaron or Miriam, which can contrast with the chronicle’s collective family emphasis.
Deuteronomy 34:5-6: So Moses the servant of the LORD died there in the land of Moab, according to the word of the LORD.
Paradox #1
1 Chronicles 6:3 mentions the sons of Amram as Aaron, Moses, and Miriam. A potential inconsistency is that other parts of the Bible (like Exodus) primarily focus on Aaron and Moses, often not highlighting Miriam in lists of descendants or emphasizing her role as equally as her brothers. This brings up questions about her prominence or the different ways these figures are represented throughout the texts.
