Contradiction with Exodus 1:22
Hebrews 11:23 credits the parents of Moses with faith for hiding him, yet Exodus 1:22 shows Pharaoh's decree to cast every Hebrew son into the river, demonstrating a lack of immediate safety, not a faith-driven act.
Exodus 1:22: And Pharaoh charged all his people, saying, Every son that is born ye shall cast into the river, and every daughter ye shall save alive.
Paradox #1
Hebrews 11:23 mentions Moses being hidden for three months by his parents because they saw he was special and they weren't afraid of the king's decree. The potential inconsistency lies in the fact that when you read the account in the Old Testament books like Exodus, it mainly highlights Moses' mother (Jochebed) as making the decisions, and not both parents together, possibly contradicting the New Testament account. This raises questions about who was primarily responsible for saving Moses and the exact reasons behind their actions.
