Contradiction with Isaiah 40:26
While Job 38:31 attributes the binding of the Pleiades to God's power, Isaiah 40:26 asserts God's sovereignty in calling forth the starry host without mentioning any limitations.
Isaiah 40:26: Lift up your eyes on high, and behold who hath created these [things], that bringeth out their host by number: he calleth them all by names by the greatness of his might, for that [he is] strong in power; not one faileth.
Contradiction with Jeremiah 31:35
This verse describes God as the one who appoints the sun to shine by day and the moon and stars for light by night, indicating an orderly control of celestial bodies, not specifically confining or binding them.
Jeremiah 31:35: Thus saith the LORD, which giveth the sun for a light by day, [and] the ordinances of the moon and of the stars for a light by night, which divideth the sea when the waves thereof roar; The LORD of hosts [is] his name:
Contradiction with Genesis 1:16
God is described as the creator of the greater and lesser lights and the stars, implying creation and ordination rather than binding as in Job 38:31.
Genesis 1:16: And God made two great lights; the greater light to rule the day, and the lesser light to rule the night: [he made] the stars also. [to rule the day...: Heb. for the rule of the day, etc.]
Paradox #1
The contradiction could relate to the description of stars and constellations possibly implying that they have direct influences or connections that modern astronomy does not support. In modern science, stars are distant and massive celestial bodies without personal influences over human lives or weather patterns.
