Contradiction with Joshua 1:9
While Joshua 7:10 shows God telling Joshua to rise and act, Joshua 1:9 emphasizes God's encouragement and reassurance of His presence rather than rebuke.
Joshua 1:9: Have not I commanded thee? Be strong and of a good courage; be not afraid, neither be thou dismayed: for the LORD thy God [is] with thee whithersoever thou goest.
Contradiction with Exodus 14:14
This verse highlights that the Lord will fight for the Israelites, whereas in Joshua 7:10, God tells Joshua to take action himself.
Exodus 14:14: The LORD shall fight for you, and ye shall hold your peace.
Contradiction with Psalm 46:10
"Be still, and know that I am God" suggests trusting in God's sovereignty without action, contrasting with God's directive to Joshua to get up and address the issue actively.
Psalm 46:10: Be still, and know that I [am] God: I will be exalted among the heathen, I will be exalted in the earth.
Contradiction with Isaiah 30:15
Emphasizes salvation through quietness and trust rather than the active response commanded in Joshua 7:10.
Isaiah 30:15: For thus saith the Lord GOD, the Holy One of Israel; In returning and rest shall ye be saved; in quietness and in confidence shall be your strength: and ye would not.
Contradiction with Proverbs 3:5-6
Advises trusting in the Lord and leaning not on one's own understanding, which contrasts with the instruction in Joshua 7:10 for Joshua to get up and take immediate action.
Proverbs 3:5-6: Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding.
Contradiction with Matthew 11:28
Invites the weary to come to Jesus for rest, in contrast to Joshua 7:10 where Joshua is instructed to get up and confront a problem.
Matthew 11:28: Come unto me, all [ye] that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.
