Contradiction with John 4:9
In contrast to Genesis 24:17 where a stranger is kindly approached for water, John 4:9 exemplifies cultural barriers as the Samaritan woman questions why Jesus, a Jew, would ask her, a Samaritan, for water.
John 4:9: Then saith the woman of Samaria unto him, How is it that thou, being a Jew, askest drink of me, which am a woman of Samaria? for the Jews have no dealings with the Samaritans.
Contradiction with Proverbs 25:25
While Genesis 24:17 depicts the immediate granting of a request for water, Proverbs 25:25 suggests that good news from a far country is like cold water, implying a restorative power that's not immediately accessible.
Proverbs 25:25: [As] cold waters to a thirsty soul, so [is] good news from a far country.
Contradiction with Luke 16:24
Genesis 24:17 shows water being asked for and given, whereas Luke 16:24 presents a rich man asking in vain for Lazarus to dip the tip of his finger in water to cool his tongue, illustrating a request for relief that goes unmet.
Luke 16:24: And he cried and said, Father Abraham, have mercy on me, and send Lazarus, that he may dip the tip of his finger in water, and cool my tongue; for I am tormented in this flame.
Contradiction with Matthew 10:42
This verse highlights the rewards of giving water to "little ones" as an act of kindness, potentially creating contrast with Genesis 24:17 where the emphasis is on the request rather than the unconditional kindness noted in Matthew.
Matthew 10:42: And whosoever shall give to drink unto one of these little ones a cup of cold [water] only in the name of a disciple, verily I say unto you, he shall in no wise lose his reward.
Contradiction with Exodus 17:2
In Genesis 24:17, water is peacefully requested, while in Exodus 17:2, the people chide Moses due to a lack of water, highlighting complaint and contention instead of a simple request and compliance.
Exodus 17:2: Wherefore the people did chide with Moses, and said, Give us water that we may drink. And Moses said unto them, Why chide ye with me? wherefore do ye tempt the LORD?
