Paradox #1
The conflict in Genesis 31:53 could arise from the mention of multiple gods. Traditionally, the Bible emphasizes the existence of one God, so referencing different gods might seem inconsistent with monotheistic teachings.
Paradox #2
In Genesis 31:53, there is a reference to both the God of Abraham and the god of Nahor as witnesses. This could seem inconsistent because it suggests a recognition of different deities, whereas much of the Bible emphasizes worship of only one God, Yahweh. This reflects the historical context of polytheistic beliefs before the establishment of strict monotheism in Israelite religion.
Paradox #3
The contradiction in Genesis 31:53 could be seen in how it uses multiple deities to swear an oath, which might conflict with the concept of worshiping only one God, central to the monotheistic belief in the Bible. This could be inconsistent with the first commandment that emphasizes monotheism.
