Contradiction with Ezra 2:33
Nehemiah 7:37 lists 1,245 people of the children of Lod, Hadid, and Ono, whereas Ezra 2:33 lists 725 people from the same towns.
Ezra 2:33: The children of Lod, Hadid, and Ono, seven hundred twenty and five. [Hadid: or, Harid, as it is in some copies]
Paradox #1
Nehemiah 7:37 lists the number of people who returned to a certain place. A contradiction or inconsistency might arise when comparing this number with its equivalent in another part of the Bible, such as Ezra 2:33, where a different number might be recorded for the same group. These differences can create conflict over what the accurate number is.
