Jeremiah 7:31: And they have built the high places of Tophet, which [is] in the valley of the son of Hinnom, to burn their sons and their daughters in the fire; which I commanded [them] not, neither came it into my heart. [came...: Heb. came it upon my heart]
Contradiction with Hosea 6:6

Hosea 6:6: For I desired mercy, and not sacrifice; and the knowledge of God more than burnt offerings.
Contradiction with Micah 6:7-8
These verses suggest that God does not delight in sacrifices, including the offering of one's child, opposing the act requested in Genesis 22.
Micah 6:7-8: Will the LORD be pleased with thousands of rams, [or] with ten thousands of rivers of oil? shall I give my firstborn [for] my transgression, the fruit of my body [for] the sin of my soul? [body: Heb. belly]
Contradiction with 1 Samuel 15:22
This verse states that obeying God's voice is better than sacrifice, creating a contradiction with the sacrifice commanded in Genesis 22.
1 Samuel 15:22: And Samuel said, Hath the LORD [as great] delight in burnt offerings and sacrifices, as in obeying the voice of the LORD? Behold, to obey [is] better than sacrifice, [and] to hearken than the fat of rams.
Contradiction with Isaiah 1:11-13
These verses reflect God's disdain for sacrifices and offerings, contrasting with the commendation Abraham receives for his willingness to sacrifice in Genesis 22:15.
Isaiah 1:11-13: To what purpose [is] the multitude of your sacrifices unto me? saith the LORD: I am full of the burnt offerings of rams, and the fat of fed beasts; and I delight not in the blood of bullocks, or of lambs, or of he goats. [he goats: Heb. great he goats]
Contradiction with Matthew 9:13

Matthew 9:13: But go ye and learn what [that] meaneth, I will have mercy, and not sacrifice: for I am not come to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance.
