Paradox #1
The possible contradiction in Psalms 106:33 could involve the actions of Moses, where his reaction might seem at odds with his usual character as a patient leader guided by God. This could create an inconsistency with the expectation of unerring obedience and faith from such a key biblical figure, especially in light of other references to Moses as a faithful servant.
Paradox #2
Psalms 106:33 refers to an incident where Moses spoke rashly. The possible contradiction or conflict here is with another account in Numbers 20:10-13, where it is said that Moses struck a rock to bring forth water, and his actions were seen as disobedient to God. The inconsistency might be in the different emphasis on Moses' speech versus his actions.
