Contradiction with Exodus 12:40
Judges 11:26 claims Israel dwelt in Heshbon, Aroer, and surrounding areas for 300 years, but Exodus 12:40 states that Israelites were in Egypt for 430 years, which conflicts with the timeline.
Exodus 12:40: Now the sojourning of the children of Israel, who dwelt in Egypt, [was] four hundred and thirty years.
Contradiction with Acts 13:19-20
Judges 11:26 suggests occupation of areas for 300 years, whereas Acts 13:19-20 implies a different timeline and duration for the possession of lands post-Egyptian exodus.
Acts 13:19-20: And when he had destroyed seven nations in the land of Chanaan, he divided their land to them by lot.
Contradiction with Deuteronomy 2:9
Judges 11:26 indicates long-term occupation of certain lands, conflicting with the command in Deuteronomy 2:9 where the Israelites are told not to harass Moab nor contend with them in battle.
Deuteronomy 2:9: And the LORD said unto me, Distress not the Moabites, neither contend with them in battle: for I will not give thee of their land [for] a possession; because I have given Ar unto the children of Lot [for] a possession. [Distress...: or, Use no hostility against Moab]
Paradox #1
Judges 11:26 references a time period of 300 years. Some might see a contradiction when this number is compared to different timelines or periods mentioned elsewhere in biblical accounts, such as the timeline from the Exodus to the time of Judges. Different interpretations and calculations could lead to inconsistencies in the chronology of events.
