Contradiction with Genesis 25:7
States that the days of the years of Abraham's life were one hundred seventy-five years, conflicting with Jacob's total age being portrayed as significant.
Genesis 25:7: And these [are] the days of the years of Abraham's life which he lived, an hundred threescore and fifteen years.
Contradiction with Genesis 47:9
Jacob tells Pharaoh that the days of the years of his pilgrimage are one hundred and thirty years, which is a different context but may seem contradictory in terms of focus on age and duration.
Genesis 47:9: And Jacob said unto Pharaoh, The days of the years of my pilgrimage [are] an hundred and thirty years: few and evil have the days of the years of my life been, and have not attained unto the days of the years of the life of my fathers in the days of their pilgrimage.
Contradiction with Genesis 5:27
States that Methuselah lived nine hundred sixty-nine years, greatly exceeding Jacob's age, offering a contradiction in terms of what is considered a long lifespan.
Genesis 5:27: And all the days of Methuselah were nine hundred sixty and nine years: and he died.
Paradox #1
Genesis 47:28 mentions the age of Jacob when he died. A potential contradiction arises when comparing his age and timeline with other biblical events and ages of his family members, which can be difficult to reconcile precisely. This discrepancy might create confusion when trying to align these timelines with historical or chronological records.
