According to Moses, God protected the people of Israel from the storm by keeping their home safe in Goshen. This showed that God was taking care of them even when bad things were happening around them.

Exodus 9:26: Only in the land of Goshen, where the children of Israel [were], was there no hail.

Contradiction with Exodus 9:6

Exodus 9:26 mentions that only in the land of Goshen were there no hail, indicating divine protection over Israel. Exodus 9:6, however, speaks of the plague killing all the Egyptian livestock but sparing the livestock of the Israelites, suggesting selective protection in a different way.

Exodus 9:6: And the LORD did that thing on the morrow, and all the cattle of Egypt died: but of the cattle of the children of Israel died not one.

Paradox #1

Exodus 9:26 talks about how only the land of Goshen was spared from a destructive hailstorm during the plagues in Egypt. A contradiction or inconsistency might arise from the lack of evidence outside the Bible confirming this event specifically in the land of Goshen. Additionally, Egyptian records from that time period do not mention such plagues, leading to questions about its historical accuracy.
