Paradox #1
Isaiah 60:6 mentions camels from Midian, Ephah, and Sheba, bringing gold and incense. Historically, some scholars find it inconsistent that Sheba is mentioned in this context, as Sheba is often associated with a region far to the south, in present-day Yemen, which might not have had direct ties to the regions of Midian and Ephah traditionally located around northern Arabia. However, these inconsistencies are often debated and interpreted in various ways, with some attributing them to poetic license or symbolic meaning.
