According to Moses, Pharaoh saw that the Israelites' animals were safe, but his heart was stubborn and he still wouldn’t let the Israelites go free. This shows how Pharaoh didn't want to listen to God even when amazing things happened.

Contradiction with Exodus 9:6

Exodus 9:6 states that all the cattle of Egypt died, while Exodus 9:7 indicates that some of Pharaoh's cattle remained since Pharaoh sent to confirm this and found that none of the cattle of the Israelites had died.

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.

Contradiction with Exodus 9:19

This verse suggests that some cattle were still alive after the earlier plague, as it advises Egyptians to bring their cattle indoors to avoid another plague.

Exodus 9:19: Send therefore now, [and] gather thy cattle, and all that thou hast in the field; [for upon] every man and beast which shall be found in the field, and shall not be brought home, the hail shall come down upon them, and they shall die.

Contradiction with Exodus 10:7

This verse implies that Egypt still had livestock remaining for the locusts to eat, contrasting with the statement in Exodus 9:6 that all cattle had died.

Exodus 10:7: And Pharaoh's servants said unto him, How long shall this man be a snare unto us? let the men go, that they may serve the LORD their God: knowest thou not yet that Egypt is destroyed?

Paradox #1

The potential contradiction in the context might involve the idea of a disease or plague affecting all of a certain type of animal in one area but not affecting the same type of animal in a nearby area. In reality, contagious diseases don't typically stop at human demarcations like property lines or national borders without some sort of barrier or preventive measures. This selective impact could be seen as inconsistent with the way infectious diseases naturally spread.
