Check out Contradictions Catalog of Exodus 8:5 for the comprehensive list of verses that contradicts Exodus 8:5. Some key contradictions and paradoxes are described below.

According to Moses, God told Moses to ask Aaron to hold out his stick over the water in Egypt, and this would make lots of frogs come out everywhere. This was to show God's power and to tell the king of Egypt to let the people go.

Exodus 8:5: And the LORD spake unto Moses, Say unto Aaron, Stretch forth thine hand with thy rod over the streams, over the rivers, and over the ponds, and cause frogs to come up upon the land of Egypt.

Contradiction with Numbers 23:19

This verse states that God does not change His mind or lie, contrasting with the implication of negotiation or change seen in Exodus 8:5 where God responds to Moses' request to change a situation with the frogs.

Numbers 23:19: God [is] not a man, that he should lie; neither the son of man, that he should repent: hath he said, and shall he not do [it]? or hath he spoken, and shall he not make it good?

Contradiction with James 1:17

This verse talks about God as constant and unchanging, whereas in Exodus 8:5, God responds to Moses' intercession by altering the situation.

James 1:17: Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and cometh down from the Father of lights, with whom is no variableness, neither shadow of turning.

Contradiction with Malachi 3:6

God is described as unchanging in this verse, which appears to contradict the dynamic interaction and response in Exodus 8:5.

Malachi 3:6: For I [am] the LORD, I change not; therefore ye sons of Jacob are not consumed.

These verses highlight God's thoughts and ways as higher than humans', contrasting with the human-like negotiation in Exodus 8:5.
