Contradiction with Nehemiah 7:61
Contradicts with Ezra 2:59 by listing a different set of family names that could not prove their lineage as Israelites.
Nehemiah 7:61: And these [were] they which went up [also] from Telmelah, Telharesha, Cherub, Addon, and Immer: but they could not shew their father's house, nor their seed, whether they [were] of Israel. [seed: or, pedigree]
Paradox #1
Ezra 2:59 lists people who could not prove their ancestry to show they were Israelites, which might contradict or be inconsistent with Nehemiah 7:61. Both verses give a similar account but have differences in the names and numbers, indicating a potential contradiction in the records of returnees from exile.
Paradox #2
Numerical contradiction or inconsistency might relate to lists or numbers given in that section not aligning with a similar passage elsewhere, potentially due to differences in names or numbers of people returning from exile. A detailed comparison with another similar account, like Nehemiah 7, might reveal such discrepancies.
