Contradiction with Genesis 15:13
This verse states the Israelites would be strangers in a land not theirs for 400 years, whereas Acts 7:6 mentions 400 years of servitude.
Genesis 15:13: And he said unto Abram, Know of a surety that thy seed shall be a stranger in a land [that is] not theirs, and shall serve them; and they shall afflict them four hundred years;
Contradiction with Exodus 12:40
Indicates that the Israelites were in Egypt for 430 years, whereas Acts 7:6 suggests a period of 400 years.
Exodus 12:40: Now the sojourning of the children of Israel, who dwelt in Egypt, [was] four hundred and thirty years.
Contradiction with Galatians 3:17
States that the law came 430 years after the promise, differing in timeline compared to the 400 years mentioned in Acts 7:6.
Galatians 3:17: And this I say, [that] the covenant, that was confirmed before of God in Christ, the law, which was four hundred and thirty years after, cannot disannul, that it should make the promise of none effect.
Paradox #1
One potential contradiction in Acts 7:6 is the number of years mentioned for the period of enslavement and mistreatment. This number can be seen as inconsistent when compared to other biblical references about the same period, such as in Genesis 15:13. These different accounts might seem to conflict on the duration of that period.
