Paradox #1
Deuteronomy 7:14 mentions that God's people will be blessed above all others, with none barren among them or their livestock. A potential conflict or contradiction may arise when comparing this promise to later experiences of Israelites in the Bible, where instances of barrenness or suffering are recorded, such as the matriarchs' struggles with barrenness or various hardships faced by the people. This could be seen as inconsistent with the absolute assurance given in the verse.
