Contradiction with Genesis 41:46
This verse describes Joseph at the beginning of his service to Pharaoh in a time of plenty, not famine, contrasting with the famine sent by God in Psalms 105:16.
Genesis 41:46: And Joseph [was] thirty years old when he stood before Pharaoh king of Egypt. And Joseph went out from the presence of Pharaoh, and went throughout all the land of Egypt.
Contradiction with Genesis 47:6
Pharaoh invites Jacob's family to settle in the best part of Egypt, showing prosperity rather than the famine described in Psalms 105:16.
Genesis 47:6: The land of Egypt [is] before thee; in the best of the land make thy father and brethren to dwell; in the land of Goshen let them dwell: and if thou knowest [any] men of activity among them, then make them rulers over my cattle.
Contradiction with Exodus 16:12
God provides manna for the Israelites during their journey, contradicting the idea of God sending a famine as in Psalms 105:16.
Exodus 16:12: I have heard the murmurings of the children of Israel: speak unto them, saying, At even ye shall eat flesh, and in the morning ye shall be filled with bread; and ye shall know that I [am] the LORD your God.
Contradiction with 1 Kings 17:4
God commands ravens to feed Elijah, which shows provision in contrast to the famine from Psalms 105:16.
1 Kings 17:4: And it shall be, [that] thou shalt drink of the brook; and I have commanded the ravens to feed thee there.
Paradox #1
Psalm 105:16 talks about God causing a famine. The potential contradiction here is that it raises questions about why a loving and benevolent God would intentionally cause suffering through famine, affecting innocent people and animals. This can conflict with the view of God as compassionate and caring.
