Contradiction with Joshua 13:8
This verse contradicts Numbers 34:14 by indicating that the land on the east side of the Jordan was specifically given to the Reubenites, the Gadites, and the half-tribe of Manasseh by Moses, which implies a different allocation than what is described in Numbers 34:14.
Joshua 13:8: With whom the Reubenites and the Gadites have received their inheritance, which Moses gave them, beyond Jordan eastward, [even] as Moses the servant of the LORD gave them;
Contradiction with Deuteronomy 3:12-13
These verses contradict Numbers 34:14 by describing Moses giving the land from Aroer to Gilead to the Reubenites and Gadites, with the rest of Gilead and all of Bashan given to the half-tribe of Manasseh, implying a more detailed distribution that may not entirely match Numbers 34:14.
Deuteronomy 3:12-13: And this land, [which] we possessed at that time, from Aroer, which [is] by the river Arnon, and half mount Gilead, and the cities thereof, gave I unto the Reubenites and to the Gadites.
Contradiction with Numbers 32:33
This verse contradicts Numbers 34:14 by stating that Moses gave the kingdoms of Sihon and Og, the lands of Gilead and Bashan, to the Reubenites, the Gadites, and the half-tribe of Manasseh, suggesting a broader land grant than the east of Jordan stopping at the plains of Moab.
Numbers 32:33: And Moses gave unto them, [even] to the children of Gad, and to the children of Reuben, and unto half the tribe of Manasseh the son of Joseph, the kingdom of Sihon king of the Amorites, and the kingdom of Og king of Bashan, the land, with the cities thereof in the coasts, [even] the cities of the country round about.
Contradiction with Joshua 22:4
This verse contradicts Numbers 34:14 by suggesting the fulfillment of the promise to the tribes of Reuben, Gad, and half-tribe of Manasseh through Moses, which might not completely align with the boundaries initially described in Numbers 34:14.
Joshua 22:4: And now the LORD your God hath given rest unto your brethren, as he promised them: therefore now return ye, and get you unto your tents, [and] unto the land of your possession, which Moses the servant of the LORD gave you on the other side Jordan.
Paradox #1
Numbers 34:14 mentions the tribes who received land east of the Jordan River. The contradiction or inconsistency may arise when comparing this allocation to other biblical accounts that list different tribes or numbers of tribes receiving land in various passages of the Bible. This might create confusion over which tribes were actually settled in that region and the boundaries of their territories.
