Contradiction with Exodus 9:25
Describes the hail as smiting all that was in the field throughout the land of Egypt, including herbs and beasts, unlike Psalms 78:47 which focuses on smiting vines and trees with hail.
Exodus 9:25: And the hail smote throughout all the land of Egypt all that [was] in the field, both man and beast; and the hail smote every herb of the field, and brake every tree of the field.
Contradiction with Exodus 10:15
Depicts the locusts as eating every herb and fruit, leaving nothing green, contrasting with Psalms 78:47 which does not mention locusts affecting the produce.
Exodus 10:15: For they covered the face of the whole earth, so that the land was darkened; and they did eat every herb of the land, and all the fruit of the trees which the hail had left: and there remained not any green thing in the trees, or in the herbs of the field, through all the land of Egypt.
Contradiction with Psalms 105:32-33
Here, hail is described as smiting their vines, their fig trees, and the coasts, which is a broader scope than the specific smiting of vines and sycamore trees in Psalms 78:47.
Psalms 105:32-33: He gave them hail for rain, [and] flaming fire in their land. [them...: Heb. their rain hail]
Paradox #1
The scientific inconsistency in the verse could be related to the idea of God causing natural phenomena like hail to specifically target and destroy plants and trees. Scientifically, weather events such as hail are understood to occur due to natural atmospheric conditions and are not directed with intent towards specific targets. Therefore, attributing such events to divine intervention conflicts with a scientific understanding of weather.
