Contradiction with Matthew 12:39
Jesus speaks against seeking signs, contrasting the miraculous sign expected in Exodus 7:9.

Contradiction with Isaiah 8:20
Emphasizes adhering to God’s law and testimony rather than miraculous signs, contrasting with the sign in Exodus 7:9.

Paradox #1
The verse describes a miracle where a staff is turned into a snake. From a scientific perspective, inanimate objects like staffs cannot transform into living animals, which contradicts the laws of biology and physics as we understand them. Therefore, the event described doesn't align with scientific principles.
Paradox #2
Exodus 7:9 involves Moses and Aaron showing a miracle from God to Pharaoh. The contradiction here could be seen in the use of miracles as a display of power to convince or force belief, raising the question of whether faith should be based on miraculous signs or genuine understanding and conviction. This could conflict with the idea that true belief comes from personal faith rather than witnessing signs and wonders.
