Contradiction with Genesis 12:12
This verse speaks about Abraham's concern that the Egyptians would see the beauty of his wife and decide to kill him to take her. This contradicts Genesis 12:15, as it depicts the Egyptians admiring Sarai and taking her into Pharaoh's house without harming Abram.
Genesis 12:12: Therefore it shall come to pass, when the Egyptians shall see thee, that they shall say, This [is] his wife: and they will kill me, but they will save thee alive.
Contradiction with Genesis 39:7
Potiphar's wife casts her eyes upon Joseph, desiring him; this contradicts Genesis 12:15, where Sarai is taken into Pharaoh's house without showing that such desire was avoided by positioning herself or others' values.
Genesis 39:7: And it came to pass after these things, that his master's wife cast her eyes upon Joseph; and she said, Lie with me.
Contradiction with Exodus 1:17
The midwives fearing God and not doing as the Egyptian king commanded contradicts Genesis 12:15, which does not incorporate divine intervention in Sarai's situation initially.
Exodus 1:17: But the midwives feared God, and did not as the king of Egypt commanded them, but saved the men children alive.
Paradox #1
Genesis 12:15 involves Pharaoh's officials seeing Sarai and praising her beauty to Pharaoh, leading to her being taken into his palace. The moral conflict here may arise from the implications of Abram's decision to present Sarai as his sister, which could be seen as deceptive and raises questions about honesty and trust. Additionally, the act of taking someone into a palace without consent touches on issues of autonomy and respect for individuals.
