According to Moses, God told him to raise his hand so that lots of grasshoppers would come to Egypt and eat all the plants there. This was done because the people in Egypt were not listening to God.

Contradiction with Genesis 1:29

This verse describes God giving plants and herbs as food for humans and animals, whereas Exodus 10:12 describes a plague devouring plant life.

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 Matthew 6:26

This verse talks about God providing for the birds, but Exodus 10:12 depicts a scenario where all vegetation is destroyed, which could contradict the provision for birds.

Matthew 6:26: Behold the fowls of the air: for they sow not, neither do they reap, nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feedeth them. Are ye not much better than they?

Contradiction with Isaiah 55:10-11

Here, it talks about how God’s word leads to the flourishing of the earth and providing seed to the sower and bread to the eater, whereas Exodus 10:12 involves stripping away food sources.

Isaiah 55:10-11: For as the rain cometh down, and the snow from heaven, and returneth not thither, but watereth the earth, and maketh it bring forth and bud, that it may give seed to the sower, and bread to the eater:

Paradox #1

Exodus 10:12 talks about a punishment that affects all Egyptians, including those who were not responsible for the actions that led to it. The contradiction here is about collective punishment, where innocent people suffer for the wrongdoings of others. This raises questions about fairness and justice.
