Contradiction with Exodus 8:22
This verse shows that God can selectively protect His people (the Israelites in Goshen) from the plague, implying control over the pests, which contrasts with the widespread swarm of frogs in Exodus 8:3.
Exodus 8:22: And I will sever in that day the land of Goshen, in which my people dwell, that no swarms [of flies] shall be there; to the end thou mayest know that I [am] the LORD in the midst of the earth.
Contradiction with Deuteronomy 7:15
This verse promises that God will remove all sickness and evil diseases from the Israelites, which seems to contradict the idea of God bringing a plague of frogs on them.
Deuteronomy 7:15: And the LORD will take away from thee all sickness, and will put none of the evil diseases of Egypt, which thou knowest, upon thee; but will lay them upon all [them] that hate thee.
Contradiction with Psalms 91:10
This verse assures that no evil will befall those who trust in God, which appears to oppose the infliction of a plague of frogs on Egypt, impacting even those who may remain faithful.
Psalms 91:10: There shall no evil befall thee, neither shall any plague come nigh thy dwelling.
Contradiction with Isaiah 54:10
This verse emphasizes God's unfailing covenant of peace and compassion, which stands in contrast to the distress and chaos caused by the plague of frogs.
Isaiah 54:10: For the mountains shall depart, and the hills be removed; but my kindness shall not depart from thee, neither shall the covenant of my peace be removed, saith the LORD that hath mercy on thee.
Paradox #1
The contradiction or inconsistency with Exodus 8:3 might relate to the natural phenomena described, such as frogs infesting a large area in a miraculous way. In reality, such events might be explained by natural causes, while the text attributes them to divine intervention. This difference between natural explanations and biblical accounts can create debates or conflicts between historical analysis and religious belief.
Paradox #2
The contradiction in Exodus 8:3 could be related to the biological behavior of frogs. Frogs are not usually found in large numbers invading homes and various settings as described. Such behavior is not consistent with natural frog activity, making it scientifically unlikely.
Paradox #3
The contradiction or conflict in this verse could arise from the idea of a loving and just God causing suffering by sending a plague. It can be hard to understand why a good God would inflict such harsh conditions on people and animals, seeming inconsistent with the concept of divine compassion and fairness.
