Contradiction with Nehemiah 7:55
This verse lists the children of Barkos among those who returned, but the numbers and names vary compared to Ezra 2:53, highlighting inconsistencies in genealogies.
Nehemiah 7:55: The children of Barkos, the children of Sisera, the children of Tamah,
Paradox #1
Ezra 2:53 lists the descendants of certain temple servants. The potential contradiction is with Nehemiah 7:55, where the same group is mentioned but the number or name may differ slightly. This inconsistency might arise from copyist errors or variations in manuscripts over time.
