Contradiction with Genesis 8:22
This verse states that "seedtime and harvest" will not cease, contradicting the idea that the hail destroyed crops, as described in Exodus 9:31, interrupting the cycle.
Genesis 8:22: While the earth remaineth, seedtime and harvest, and cold and heat, and summer and winter, and day and night shall not cease. [While...: Heb. As yet all the days of the earth]
Contradiction with Ecclesiastes 3:1-2
These verses emphasize that there is a time to plant and a time to pluck up, suggesting an ordained cycle of growth rather than the abrupt destruction seen in Exodus 9:31.
Ecclesiastes 3:1-2: To every [thing there is] a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven:
Contradiction with Matthew 6:26
Implies divine provision and care for all creatures, contradicting the destruction and loss caused by the hail in Exodus 9:31.
Matthew 6:26: Behold the fowls of the air: for they sow not, neither do they reap, nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feedeth them. Are ye not much better than they?
Paradox #1
Exodus 9:31 mentions that the flax and barley were destroyed because they were in season during the plague of hail. However, in Exodus 9:32, it says that the wheat and spelt were not destroyed because they ripen later. This difference in timing of crop destruction creates a point of discussion about the agricultural timelines, which can be seen as inconsistent or contradictory with historical agricultural practices in Egypt if they don't align with common knowledge of crop cycles.
