Contradiction with Psalm 46:10
Exodus 12:11 commands quick preparation and action, whereas Psalm 46:10 advises being still and trusting in God's sovereignty.

Paradox #1
One potential inconsistency regarding Exodus 12:11 is its instruction for the Israelites to eat the Passover meal in haste, ready to leave Egypt quickly. This urgency seems to conflict with the prior nine plagues, where the Israelites had ample time as Moses negotiated with Pharaoh. It raises questions about why such haste was needed after a prolonged period of waiting.
Paradox #2
The potential contradiction in this verse could be the directive for urgency and readiness for departure, which might conflict with the idea of faith and trust in divine timing. It may seem inconsistent to both hurriedly prepare and simultaneously trust fully in a higher power's plan and timing.
