According to Moses, this verse tells us about Simeon's children and includes a special note that one of his sons, Shaul, had a mom from a different place called Canaan. This shows that families in the Bible had people from different backgrounds and places.

Genesis 46:10: And the sons of Simeon; Jemuel, and Jamin, and Ohad, and Jachin, and Zohar, and Shaul the son of a Canaanitish woman. [Jemuel: or, Nemuel] [Jachin: or, Jarib] [Zohar: or, Zerah]

Contradiction with Exodus 6:15

This verse lists the sons of Simeon, but the names and number of sons differ from those in Genesis 46:10.

Exodus 6:15: And the sons of Simeon; Jemuel, and Jamin, and Ohad, and Jachin, and Zohar, and Shaul the son of a Canaanitish woman: these [are] the families of Simeon.

Paradox #1

The potential contradiction in "Genesis 46:10" arises when comparing the names of Simeon's sons listed there with those mentioned in other parts of the Bible, such as "Numbers 26:12" and "1 Chronicles 4:24". The differences in names and numbers raise questions about consistency in the genealogical records.
