Paradox #1
Psalms 106:32 refers to an event involving Moses and the Israelites at the waters of Meribah. A possible contradiction is that there are differing accounts of this event in the Bible. In Numbers 20:7-13, it describes how God told Moses to speak to a rock to bring forth water, but Moses struck the rock instead, which led to consequences for him. In Psalms 106, it's implied that the people's rebellion caused trouble for Moses at the waters. The inconsistency lies in the emphasis on who was responsible for the troubles—Moses' actions versus the people's rebellion.
