Contradiction with Job 26:12
In Job 26:12, it's stated that God divides the sea with His power, emphasizing His control over the chaotic seas, which supports rather than contradicts the theme of God's power over Rahab mentioned in Psalms 89:10.
Job 26:12: He divideth the sea with his power, and by his understanding he smiteth through the proud. [the proud: Heb. pride]
Contradiction with Isaiah 51:9
This verse invokes the arm of the Lord recalling how He defeated Rahab, similar to the reference in Psalms 89:10, thus not providing a contradiction but rather a reinforcement.
Isaiah 51:9: Awake, awake, put on strength, O arm of the LORD; awake, as in the ancient days, in the generations of old. [Art] thou not it that hath cut Rahab, [and] wounded the dragon?
Paradox #1
One possible contradiction or conflict with Psalms 89:10 could be the differing accounts of creation and chaos in ancient texts. The verse might refer to defeating mythical sea creatures or chaos as part of God's power. However, other ancient Near Eastern cultures, like the Babylonians, have their own myths (like the Enuma Elish) where their gods battle chaos monsters. These similarities and differences in myths might cause contradictions when determining historical influences or original narratives in biblical texts.
