Contradiction with Matthew 5:3
This verse speaks about the blessedness of the poor in spirit, in contrast to Nehemiah 9:25 which describes abundance and physical prosperity as blessings.
Matthew 5:3: Blessed [are] the poor in spirit: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
Contradiction with Luke 6:20
It mentions that the kingdom of God belongs to the poor, contrasting with the material wealth and land mentioned in Nehemiah 9:25.
Luke 6:20: And he lifted up his eyes on his disciples, and said, Blessed [be ye] poor: for yours is the kingdom of God.
Contradiction with James 2:5
Highlights that God has chosen the poor to be rich in faith, which contrasts with the wealth and "fat land" enjoyed in Nehemiah 9:25.

Paradox #1
One potential theological conflict with Nehemiah 9:25 could relate to the concept of divine justice and the problem of rewarding or allowing the prosperity of those who might be seen as undeserving or disobedient. This verse mentions the abundance and blessings given to the Israelites, which might seem inconsistent with instances in other parts of the Bible where disobedience leads to punishment or lack of blessing. Some might see this as conflicting with themes of strict justice in divine judgment.
Paradox #2
Nehemiah 9:25 describes the Israelites enjoying abundance and prosperity after taking over cities and lands. A potential contradiction could be the idea of celebrating prosperity that comes through conquest and taking land from others, which might conflict with notions of peace, equality, and justice.
