Contradiction with Ruth 1:16
This verse expresses Ruth's commitment to Naomi and adopting her people, which supports intermarriage; however, it does not directly contract Genesis 24:3 but showcases a successful intermarriage contrary to the prohibition.
Ruth 1:16: And Ruth said, Intreat me not to leave thee, [or] to return from following after thee: for whither thou goest, I will go; and where thou lodgest, I will lodge: thy people [shall be] my people, and thy God my God: [Intreat...: or, Be not against me]
Contradiction with Galatians 3:28
This verse speaks of unity in Christ despite differences, including ethnic ones, suggesting that the differences causing concern in Genesis 24:3 are nullified in Christ.
Galatians 3:28: There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female: for ye are all one in Christ Jesus.
Paradox #1
The contradiction or inconsistency in Genesis 24:3 could be seen in the directive to avoid marrying Canaanite women. This might conflict with the idea of universal love and equality among all people, as it suggests choosing partners based on ethnicity or origin rather than love or personal qualities. Hence, it might be seen as promoting separation rather than unity among different groups of people.
