Paradox #1
The potential contradiction in this verse could be related to its description of the shape of the Earth. It implies a circular or shaped boundary which might be interpreted as conflicting with scientific understanding if it's seen as suggesting a flat Earth, whereas science supports that the Earth is an oblate spheroid. However, interpretations vary, and some view these descriptions as metaphorical rather than literal.
