Paradox #1

The contradiction in this context refers to a discrepancy when comparing different biblical texts. In Judges 20:15, one version might report a specific number of soldiers, while another version or part of the Bible might provide a different figure for the same event or army. This leads to confusion or conflict about which number is accurate. However, without additional reference to another specific verse or version showing a different number, there cannot be a confirmed inconsistency. Thus, any contradiction depends on such comparisons.If you're just analyzing Judges 20:15 by itself without any external comparison, this task cannot be completed as requested.
