Contradictions and Paradoxes in Exodus 9:22

Check out Contradictions Catalog of Exodus 9:22 for the comprehensive list of verses that contradicts Exodus 9:22. Some key contradictions and paradoxes are described below.

According to Moses, God told him to lift his hand to the sky so that a big hail storm would come over Egypt, hurting people, animals, and plants everywhere. This was one of the signs to show God's power and to convince the Pharaoh to let the Israelites go free.

Exodus 9:22: And the LORD said unto Moses, Stretch forth thine hand toward heaven, that there may be hail in all the land of Egypt, upon man, and upon beast, and upon every herb of the field, throughout the land of Egypt.

Paradox #1

Exodus 9:22 describes a weather event involving hail and fire. Scientifically, fiery hail is highly improbable, as hail is ice and cannot naturally coexist with fire in typical atmospheric conditions. If you were to take this verse literally as a historical weather event, it would contradict our understanding of meteorology.

Paradox #2

Exodus 9:22 involves a command from God that leads to a destructive event. A contradiction or conflict might arise from the idea that a loving and compassionate God would cause harm and suffering by sending a devastating event. This raises questions about the nature of divine justice and mercy.
