Contradiction with Judges 2:1
The angel of the Lord rebukes Israel for not obeying God's voice, implying conditional promises based on obedience.
Judges 2:1: And an angel of the LORD came up from Gilgal to Bochim, and said, I made you to go up out of Egypt, and have brought you unto the land which I sware unto your fathers; and I said, I will never break my covenant with you. [angel: or, messenger]
Contradiction with Exodus 32:10
God expresses intent to destroy Israel, contradicting the promise of innumerable descendants.
Exodus 32:10: Now therefore let me alone, that my wrath may wax hot against them, and that I may consume them: and I will make of thee a great nation.
Contradiction with Deuteronomy 28:62
Foretelling Israel's reduction in number if they disobey, contradicting the promise of countless offspring.
Deuteronomy 28:62: And ye shall be left few in number, whereas ye were as the stars of heaven for multitude; because thou wouldest not obey the voice of the LORD thy God.
Paradox #1
The contradiction or inconsistency could be that the population mentioned seems exaggerated and not literally possible, as the described amount of people does not align with historical or scientific understanding of population growth or historical records from that time.
Paradox #2
The possible contradiction with "Genesis 13:16" could relate to the promise that Abraham's descendants would be as numerous as the dust of the earth. Scientifically, the idea of a human lineage becoming that large is not feasible, both in terms of population dynamics and the carrying capacity of Earth. This could be seen as a hyperbolic expression rather than a literal prediction.
