Contradiction with Nehemiah 7:67
This verse lists the number of singers as 245, whereas Ezra 2:65 lists 200, showing a discrepancy in the count of singers.
Nehemiah 7:67: Beside their manservants and their maidservants, of whom [there were] seven thousand three hundred thirty and seven: and they had two hundred forty and five singing men and singing women.
Paradox #1
Ezra 2:65 mentions a specific number of servants and singers returning from exile, but there is a similar passage in Nehemiah 7:67 with different numbers. This inconsistency in numbers between the two accounts can be seen as a contradiction or inconsistency.
