Paradox #1

Genesis 46:21 lists the sons of Benjamin, but the names and their count differ from other parts of the Bible, like Numbers 26:38-41 and 1 Chronicles 7:6. This causes confusion about the actual number and names of Benjamin's sons.

Paradox #2

The potential contradiction with Genesis 46:21 is about the number and names of Benjamin's sons. Different parts of the Bible list different sons for Benjamin and their numbers vary. This can lead to confusion about his family tree.

Paradox #3

The contradiction with this verse lies in the differing lists of Benjamin's sons found in other parts of the Bible. In Genesis 46:21, Benjamin is said to have ten sons, but other parts of the Bible, like Numbers 26:38-40 and 1 Chronicles 7:6, list different names and numbers of sons. This inconsistency can create confusion about Benjamin's family lineage.

Paradox #4

Genesis 46:21 lists Benjamin's sons, but if you compare this list with other parts of the Bible, like Numbers 26:38-40 and 1 Chronicles 7:6, there are differences in the names and number of sons mentioned. This inconsistency can create confusion about Benjamin's actual descendants.
