Paradox #1
The possible theological conflict with Numbers 12:2 is about the question of who God speaks through or grants authority to. In this verse, Miriam and Aaron challenge Moses' unique role as God's chosen prophet. They argue that God also speaks through them. This raises issues regarding divine authority and how it is distributed among individuals. It can be seen as a conflict between human judgment and divine choice, highlighting the difficulty in understanding God's selection of leaders.
Paradox #2
The contradiction or inconsistency with Numbers 12:2 involves the questioning of Moses' unique role as God's chosen leader, as it suggests that God speaks through others like Aaron and Miriam as well. This could conflict with the traditional view of Moses being the singular and unparalleled prophet and leader.
Paradox #3
This verse involves a situation where Moses is being questioned or challenged by others regarding his role or authority. The contradiction or conflict might be seen in the questioning of a chosen leader by those close to him, which can raise issues about pride, jealousy, or lack of faith in divine choices. Such human emotions and actions may conflict with the idea of trusting divine leadership.
