Contradiction with Genesis 1:9
Describes waters being gathered into one place by God's command, whereas Exodus 15:8 mentions waters standing upright as heaps, implying separation.
Genesis 1:9: And God said, Let the waters under the heaven be gathered together unto one place, and let the dry [land] appear: and it was so.
Contradiction with Job 38:8-11
Here God sets boundaries for the sea, while Exodus 15:8 suggests waters are piled up, which contradicts the notion of contained waters.
Job 38:8-11: Or [who] shut up the sea with doors, when it brake forth, [as if] it had issued out of the womb?
Contradiction with Psalm 104:6-7
States waters fled at God's rebuke, contrasting with Exodus 15:8 where waters stand still.
Psalm 104:6-7: Thou coveredst it with the deep as [with] a garment: the waters stood above the mountains.
Contradiction with Ecclesiastes 1:7
Describes rivers running into the sea continually without filling it, contrary to Exodus 15:8 where waters stand in heaps.
Ecclesiastes 1:7: All the rivers run into the sea; yet the sea [is] not full; unto the place from whence the rivers come, thither they return again. [return...: Heb. return to go]
Paradox #1
The description of water standing like a wall on command contradicts our scientific understanding of water behavior. Water does not naturally stand vertically without physical barriers due to gravity and fluid dynamics.
