Contradiction with Proverbs 21:13
Unlike Genesis 14:20, which acknowledges receiving blessings, this verse states a warning against ignoring those in need, suggesting that blessings aren't automatic.
Proverbs 21:13: Whoso stoppeth his ears at the cry of the poor, he also shall cry himself, but shall not be heard.
Contradiction with Matthew 5:44
Contradicts the idea of blessing only those who bless you in Genesis 14:20 by instructing to bless even one's enemies.
Matthew 5:44: But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you;
Paradox #1
The contradiction or conflict in this verse is that it involves giving a tenth, or tithe, of possessions to a religious figure, which can conflict with beliefs about wealth distribution, personal ownership, or views on religious authority. Some might see this as endorsing a system where religious figures receive material benefits. Others might find it contradicts personal beliefs about how wealth should be used or shared. This can create tension between religious practice and personal or ethical views on economics and fairness.
