Contradiction with Numbers 20:12
This verse mentions that Moses and Aaron will not enter the Promised Land, which contrasts with the idea of journeying even further towards it, as mentioned in Numbers 20:22.
Numbers 20:12: And the LORD spake unto Moses and Aaron, Because ye believed me not, to sanctify me in the eyes of the children of Israel, therefore ye shall not bring this congregation into the land which I have given them.
Contradiction with Exodus 3:8
God promises to bring the Israelites to a land flowing with milk and honey, yet in Numbers 20:22, they continue to journey through the wilderness without reaching the Promised Land.
Exodus 3:8: And I am come down to deliver them out of the hand of the Egyptians, and to bring them up out of that land unto a good land and a large, unto a land flowing with milk and honey; unto the place of the Canaanites, and the Hittites, and the Amorites, and the Perizzites, and the Hivites, and the Jebusites.
Contradiction with Deuteronomy 1:2
This verse suggests a short journey from Horeb to Kadesh-barnea, but Numbers 20:22 highlights a prolonged and arduous journey.
Deuteronomy 1:2: ([There are] eleven days' [journey] from Horeb by the way of mount Seir unto Kadeshbarnea.)
Contradiction with Hebrews 3:19
While Numbers 20:22 chronicles the Israelites' journey, this verse suggests their disbelief prevented entry to the Promised Land, indicating contradictory outcomes.
Hebrews 3:19: So we see that they could not enter in because of unbelief.
Contradiction with Numbers 33:37
This verse documents the stations of the Israelites’ journey, whereas Numbers 20:22 indicates a singular movement to Mount Hor, which can confuse the continuity of the journey.
Numbers 33:37: And they removed from Kadesh, and pitched in mount Hor, in the edge of the land of Edom.
