Contradictions and Paradoxes in Exodus 4:6

Check out Contradictions Catalog of Exodus 4:6 for the comprehensive list of verses that contradicts Exodus 4:6. Some key contradictions and paradoxes are described below.

According to Moses, God told him to put his hand inside his coat, and when Moses took it out, it was covered with a skin disease. This was a sign to show God's power and to help Moses convince others that God was with him.

Exodus 4:6: And the LORD said furthermore unto him, Put now thine hand into thy bosom. And he put his hand into his bosom: and when he took it out, behold, his hand [was] leprous as snow.

Contradiction with James 5:14-15

These verses suggest healing through prayer and faith, contrasting with Exodus 4:6 where Moses's hand is healed through a direct act of God, not involving prayer or faith.

James 5:14-15: Is any sick among you? let him call for the elders of the church; and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord:

Contradiction with Matthew 8:3

In Matthew, Jesus heals a leper instantly with a touch, whereas in Exodus 4:6, leprosy is used as a sign from God, depicting different contexts and implications for leprosy and healing.

Matthew 8:3: And Jesus put forth [his] hand, and touched him, saying, I will; be thou clean. And immediately his leprosy was cleansed.

Paradox #1

The potential scientific inconsistency with Exodus 4:6 could be related to the sudden and miraculous nature of a disease appearing and disappearing instantly, as described in the verse. In reality, skin diseases, such as leprosy, develop over time and do not simply appear or vanish without a biological process. This sudden transformation contradicts our scientific understanding of how diseases progress and heal.
