Contradictions and Paradoxes in Exodus 7:24

Check out Contradictions Catalog of Exodus 7:24 for the comprehensive list of verses that contradicts Exodus 7:24. Some key contradictions and paradoxes are described below.

According to Moses, the Egyptians had to dig around the river to find water because the river water had become bad and they couldn't drink it. This happened because God made the river undrinkable as part of a big lesson to teach the Egyptians.

Exodus 7:24: And all the Egyptians digged round about the river for water to drink; for they could not drink of the water of the river.

Contradiction with Genesis 1:10

This verse states that God called the dry land Earth and the gathering together of the waters Seas. This creation act by God suggests the waters were inherently functional, whereas Exodus 7:24 describes people unable to drink the water of the river, signifying dysfunction.

Genesis 1:10: And God called the dry [land] Earth; and the gathering together of the waters called he Seas: and God saw that [it was] good.

Contradiction with Exodus 14:21-22

These verses describe God parting the waters of the Red Sea, allowing the Israelites to pass on dry ground. This divine action showcases God's control and the water's life-saving function, contrary to the polluted waters in Exodus 7:24 that reflect a curse.

Exodus 14:21-22: And Moses stretched out his hand over the sea; and the LORD caused the sea to go [back] by a strong east wind all that night, and made the sea dry [land], and the waters were divided.

Contradiction with Psalm 23:2

This verse mentions lying down in green pastures and being led beside still waters, suggesting peace and nourishment provided by God, opposing the scenario in Exodus 7:24 where water is undrinkable and represents affliction.

Psalm 23:2: He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters. [green...: Heb. pastures of tender grass] [still...: Heb. waters of quietness]

Contradiction with Revelation 22:1

This verse depicts a pure river of water of life, clear as crystal, proceeding out of the throne of God. It represents purity and sustenance, contrasting with Exodus 7:24 where the water is contaminated and requires desperate human effort to find drinkable water.

Revelation 22:1: And he shewed me a pure river of water of life, clear as crystal, proceeding out of the throne of God and of the Lamb.
