Contradiction with Ecclesiastes 9:5
The dead know not anything, which contradicts the concept of reviving and bringing the dead Israelites out of their graves.
Ecclesiastes 9:5: For the living know that they shall die: but the dead know not any thing, neither have they any more a reward; for the memory of them is forgotten.
Contradiction with Job 7:9-10
Once a person dies, they do not return, contrasting the promise of resurrection in Ezekiel 37:12.
Job 7:9-10: [As] the cloud is consumed and vanisheth away: so he that goeth down to the grave shall come up no [more].
Contradiction with Isaiah 26:14
The dead shall not live, neither rise, opposing the idea of raising the dead from graves in Ezekiel 37:12.
Isaiah 26:14: [They are] dead, they shall not live; [they are] deceased, they shall not rise: therefore hast thou visited and destroyed them, and made all their memory to perish.
Contradiction with Job 14:12
Man lies down and does not rise until the heavens are no more, conflicting with the immediate resurrection depicted in Ezekiel 37:12.
Job 14:12: So man lieth down, and riseth not: till the heavens [be] no more, they shall not awake, nor be raised out of their sleep.
Paradox #1
Ezekiel 37:12 might be seen as conflicting with some interpretations about the afterlife and resurrection. Some Christian denominations view resurrection as a future physical event at the end times, while others see it as a metaphorical or spiritual process. The passage's depiction could be interpreted differently depending on these beliefs, leading to varying theological understandings.
Paradox #2
Ezekiel 37:12 talks about the dead rising from their graves. Scientifically, this contradicts our understanding of biology because once a body is deceased, biological processes cease, and there's currently no scientific evidence or possibility for a dead body to come back to life as described.
