Contradiction with Deuteronomy 8:15-16
This verse speaks of God leading Israel through the desert where he provides water, but it stresses the continual dependence on God's provision, as opposed to Hagar’s situation where she is suddenly able to see a local source of provision.
Deuteronomy 8:15-16: Who led thee through that great and terrible wilderness, [wherein were] fiery serpents, and scorpions, and drought, where [there was] no water; who brought thee forth water out of the rock of flint;
Contradiction with 1 Kings 17:6
Here, ravens bring Elijah bread and meat directly from God, suggesting direct divine provision as opposed to Hagar’s need to see and then make use of the existing natural resource.
1 Kings 17:6: And the ravens brought him bread and flesh in the morning, and bread and flesh in the evening; and he drank of the brook.
Contradiction with Matthew 6:26
This verse indicates that God’s creation doesn’t need intervention (in terms of worry or toil) for their provision, whereas Hagar required a divine intervention to perceive the well.
Matthew 6:26: Behold the fowls of the air: for they sow not, neither do they reap, nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feedeth them. Are ye not much better than they?
Contradiction with Psalm 37:25
Suggests the righteous are never forsaken or in need, implying that divine intervention for basic provisions wouldn’t be necessary, unlike Hagar’s need for God to open her eyes to water.
Psalm 37:25: I have been young, and [now] am old; yet have I not seen the righteous forsaken, nor his seed begging bread.
Contradiction with Luke 12:29-30
This passage encourages seeking God's kingdom first and implies that physical needs such as water will inherently be met, while Genesis 21:19 demonstrates God filling an immediate lack through miraculous intervention.
Luke 12:29-30: And seek not ye what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink, neither be ye of doubtful mind. [neither...: or, live not in careful suspense]
