Contradiction with Isaiah 14:31
While Numbers 24:24 suggests affliction from ships of Chittim, Isaiah warns Philistia of a larger threat, implying broader judgments not confined to one source.
Isaiah 14:31: Howl, O gate; cry, O city; thou, whole Palestina, [art] dissolved: for there shall come from the north a smoke, and none [shall be] alone in his appointed times. [none...: or, he shall not be alone] [appointed...: or, assemblies]
Contradiction with Ezekiel 30:9
Numbers 24:24 speaks of affliction from the coast, but Ezekiel proclaims disturbances across distant lands broadly, not tied specifically to ships or Chittim.
Ezekiel 30:9: In that day shall messengers go forth from me in ships to make the careless Ethiopians afraid, and great pain shall come upon them, as in the day of Egypt: for, lo, it cometh.
Contradiction with Jeremiah 49:23
Jeremiah illustrates troubles coming from elsewhere, not specifying the maritime or naval context mentioned in Numbers 24:24.
Jeremiah 49:23: Concerning Damascus. Hamath is confounded, and Arpad: for they have heard evil tidings: they are fainthearted; [there is] sorrow on the sea; it cannot be quiet. [fainthearted: Heb. melted] [on...: or, as on the sea]
Contradiction with Daniel 11:30
This verse refers to ships from Chittim countering a king's actions, highlighting intervention, not affliction, which seems contradictory to the context of oppression in Numbers 24:24.
Daniel 11:30: For the ships of Chittim shall come against him: therefore he shall be grieved, and return, and have indignation against the holy covenant: so shall he do; he shall even return, and have intelligence with them that forsake the holy covenant.
Contradiction with Acts 28:28
Acts speaks of salvation through Israel extending to the Gentiles and their acceptance, presenting a more positive interaction than the afflictive tone of Numbers 24:24.
Acts 28:28: Be it known therefore unto you, that the salvation of God is sent unto the Gentiles, and [that] they will hear it.
