Paradox #1

Exodus 2:15 may seem contradictory because it involves fleeing from wrongdoing. It suggests seeking safety or a fresh start after committing a wrong act, which can conflict with the idea of facing consequences or seeking forgiveness. This can be seen as inconsistent because running away does not resolve moral responsibility or guilt.
