Contradictions and Paradoxes in Exodus 8:6

Check out Contradictions Catalog of Exodus 8:6 for the comprehensive list of verses that contradicts Exodus 8:6. Some key contradictions and paradoxes are described below.

According to Moses, God told Aaron to lift his hand over the water, and suddenly there were frogs everywhere in Egypt. This was a sign to show God's power to the people.

Exodus 8:6: And Aaron stretched out his hand over the waters of Egypt; and the frogs came up, and covered the land of Egypt.

Contradiction with Genesis 1:24

This verse speaks about God creating every living creature according to their kind, which contrasts with Exodus 8:6, where frogs specifically are brought upon the land by Aaron stretching out his hand.

Genesis 1:24: And God said, Let the earth bring forth the living creature after his kind, cattle, and creeping thing, and beast of the earth after his kind: and it was so.

Contradiction with James 1:13

This verse asserts that God does not tempt anyone with evil, contradicting the act of bringing a plague upon Egypt as described in Exodus 8:6.

James 1:13: Let no man say when he is tempted, I am tempted of God: for God cannot be tempted with evil, neither tempteth he any man: [evil: or, evils]

Contradiction with Proverbs 12:21

This verse claims that no harm befalls the righteous, which contrasts with the plagues in Exodus that affected both Egyptians and Israelites.

Proverbs 12:21: There shall no evil happen to the just: but the wicked shall be filled with mischief.

Contradiction with Isaiah 45:7

This verse states God creates peace and calamity, implying control over all events, while Exodus 8:6 attributes the plague to Moses and Aaron's direct actions.

Isaiah 45:7: I form the light, and create darkness: I make peace, and create evil: I the LORD do all these [things].

Contradiction with Numbers 23:19

This verse says God does not lie or change His mind, which could contradict the narrative of sending plagues as they seem reactionary.

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?

Paradox #1

The event described could be seen as scientifically inconsistent because it involves a massive infestation of frogs appearing suddenly and at an unnatural scale, which doesn't align with ecological and biological principles. Normally, such an event would require specific environmental conditions for frog populations to increase dramatically over time, not suddenly on command.
