Contradictions and Paradoxes in Daniel 4:15

Check out Contradictions Catalog of Daniel 4:15 for the comprehensive list of verses that contradicts Daniel 4:15. Some key contradictions and paradoxes are described below.

According to Daniel, God wanted to keep the tree's roots safe in the ground with a strong band around it while the man had to live outside with the animals and be wet from rain. This was to teach him that God is in charge of everything.

Daniel 4:15: Nevertheless leave the stump of his roots in the earth, even with a band of iron and brass, in the tender grass of the field; and let it be wet with the dew of heaven, and [let] his portion [be] with the beasts in the grass of the earth:

Contradiction with Genesis 1:29

While Daniel 4:15 suggests leaving the stump to potentially grow again, Genesis 1:29 grants humans dominion over nature, implying control rather than allowing spontaneous regrowth.

Genesis 1:29: And God said, Behold, I have given you every herb bearing seed, which [is] upon the face of all the earth, and every tree, in the which [is] the fruit of a tree yielding seed; to you it shall be for meat. [bearing...: Heb. seeding seed] [yielding...: Heb. seeding seed]

Contradiction with Isaiah 40:8

Daniel 4:15 highlights a tree's potential to regrow, but Isaiah 40:8 emphasizes the permanence of God's word contrasting with the temporary nature of plants.

Isaiah 40:8: The grass withereth, the flower fadeth: but the word of our God shall stand for ever.

Contradiction with Job 14:7-10

Although Daniel 4:15 speaks of hope for regrowth, Job 14:7-10 discusses the certainty of death and lack of regrowth for humans, highlighting a contrast between human and plant regeneration.

Job 14:7-10: For there is hope of a tree, if it be cut down, that it will sprout again, and that the tender branch thereof will not cease.

Contradiction with Ecclesiastes 3:2

Daniel 4:15 implies that a tree might regrow, but Ecclesiastes 3:2 states there is a time to plant and a time to uproot, suggesting a finality that contradicts potential regrowth.

Ecclesiastes 3:2: A time to be born, and a time to die; a time to plant, and a time to pluck up [that which is] planted; [to be...: Heb. to bear]
