Contradiction with Exodus 20:13
While Genesis 22:9 describes the preparation for a sacrifice involving Isaac, Exodus 20:13 explicitly commands, "Thou shalt not kill," which would contradict the act of sacrificing Isaac as initially intended.
Exodus 20:13: Thou shalt not kill.
Contradiction with Deuteronomy 12:31
Genesis 22:9 details the preparation for a potential child sacrifice, whereas Deuteronomy 12:31 condemns child sacrifice, describing it as an abomination to the Lord.
Deuteronomy 12:31: Thou shalt not do so unto the LORD thy God: for every abomination to the LORD, which he hateth, have they done unto their gods; for even their sons and their daughters they have burnt in the fire to their gods. [to the: Heb. of the]
Contradiction with Jeremiah 19:5
This verse condemns child sacrifice, indicating it never entered God's mind, which contradicts the preparation for such an act in Genesis 22:9.
Jeremiah 19:5: They have built also the high places of Baal, to burn their sons with fire [for] burnt offerings unto Baal, which I commanded not, nor spake [it], neither came [it] into my mind:
Contradiction with Psalm 106:37-38

Paradox #1
The potential contradiction or conflict in Genesis 22:9 arises from the moral implications of God asking Abraham to sacrifice his son Isaac. This request seems to conflict with the later biblical commandment "Thou shalt not kill" and the general understanding of a loving and just God. It raises questions about God's nature and the ethics of testing faith through extreme measures.
Paradox #2
The contradiction in Genesis 22:9 could be the conflict between the command to sacrifice Isaac and the basic moral understanding that killing an innocent person is wrong. It challenges the idea of obeying divine commands when they go against moral instincts.
