Contradiction with Job 38:4

Whereas Numbers 21:14 refers to "the book of the wars of the LORD" as a source, Job 38:4 emphasizes God's exclusive role in creation and wisdom, contradicting reliance on human records for divine acts.

Contradiction with Isaiah 55:8-9

Numbers 21:14 tends to cite human records about God's acts. This contradicts Isaiah’s assertion that God's thoughts and ways are incomprehensibly higher than human understanding or documentation.

Isaiah 55:8-9: For my thoughts [are] not your thoughts, neither [are] your ways my ways, saith the LORD.
