Paradox #1
The moral conflict in this verse could be seen in the idea of favoring one group or person over others, which can lead to inequality or exclusion. While some might see blessings as positive, others might question why only a specific group is chosen for special treatment. This can conflict with modern ideas about equal opportunity and fairness for all people.
