Contradiction with Exodus 14:30
This verse states that the Lord saved Israel that day out of the hand of the Egyptians, consistent with Psalms 136:15, which describes the destruction of Pharaoh and his host; it does not directly contradict but confirms the event.
Exodus 14:30: Thus the LORD saved Israel that day out of the hand of the Egyptians; and Israel saw the Egyptians dead upon the sea shore.
Contradiction with Hebrews 11:29
This verse mentions that the Israelites passed through the Red Sea by faith as on dry land, which does not provide a contradiction but rather supports Psalms 136:15, highlighting divine intervention.
Hebrews 11:29: By faith they passed through the Red sea as by dry [land]: which the Egyptians assaying to do were drowned.
Contradiction with Isaiah 51:10
This verse acknowledges God making a way in the sea and a path in the mighty waters, consistent with Psalms 136:15. It celebrates the event rather than contradicting it.
Isaiah 51:10: [Art] thou not it which hath dried the sea, the waters of the great deep; that hath made the depths of the sea a way for the ransomed to pass over?
Contradiction with Exodus 15:19
This verse supports the narrative that the horses, chariots, and horsemen were drowned in the sea, aligning with Psalms 136:15 rather than contradicting it.
Exodus 15:19: For the horse of Pharaoh went in with his chariots and with his horsemen into the sea, and the LORD brought again the waters of the sea upon them; but the children of Israel went on dry [land] in the midst of the sea.
Paradox #1
The contradiction in this verse could relate to the concept of the Red Sea parting and then covering Pharaoh's army. Scientifically, there is no evidence that this event, as described, could occur naturally. Large bodies of water don't typically part and then return on command. This story relies on divine intervention, which is not within the scope of scientific understanding.
Paradox #2
The contradiction in Psalms 136:15 could arise from the idea of celebrating the downfall or destruction of others, which can seem inconsistent with principles of compassion, forgiveness, and the idea of loving one's enemies. This can be challenging when considering a broader ethical view that promotes empathy and understanding.
