Contradiction with Isaiah 11:15
This verse talks about drying up of the sea, a contrast to setting it as a boundary.
Isaiah 11:15: And the LORD shall utterly destroy the tongue of the Egyptian sea; and with his mighty wind shall he shake his hand over the river, and shall smite it in the seven streams, and make [men] go over dryshod. [dryshod: Heb. in shoes]
Contradiction with Revelation 21:1
Describes a new heaven and new earth where there is no more sea, contradicting the existence of the sea as a border.
Revelation 21:1: And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away; and there was no more sea.
Contradiction with Psalm 95:5
Claims that the sea is God's and He made it, focusing on divine ownership rather than it being a boundary for land.
Psalm 95:5: The sea [is] his, and he made it: and his hands formed the dry [land]. [The sea...: Heb. Whose the sea is]
Contradiction with Joshua 15:12
Describes the sea as a border for only a specific tribe (Judah), potentially contradicting the overall boundary for Israel in Numbers.
Joshua 15:12: And the west border [was] to the great sea, and the coast [thereof]. This [is] the coast of the children of Judah round about according to their families.
Contradiction with Genesis 1:9-10
God's command gathers waters, making them more universal rather than a specific boundary designation.
Genesis 1:9-10: And God said, Let the waters under the heaven be gathered together unto one place, and let the dry [land] appear: and it was so.
Contradiction with Psalm 104:9
States that waters will not pass their boundary, which could imply the sea's boundary is more about nature than man-made borders.
Psalm 104:9: Thou hast set a bound that they may not pass over; that they turn not again to cover the earth.
