Contradiction with Exodus 17:6
Genesis 26:19 depicts Isaac's servants digging for a well of springing water, suggesting human effort in obtaining water, whereas Exodus 17:6 describes the miraculous provision of water from a rock without digging.
Exodus 17:6: Behold, I will stand before thee there upon the rock in Horeb; and thou shalt smite the rock, and there shall come water out of it, that the people may drink. And Moses did so in the sight of the elders of Israel.
Contradiction with Numbers 20:11
In Genesis 26:19, the water is obtained through digging a well, contrasting with Numbers 20:11 where Moses strikes a rock to bring forth water, demonstrating a divine act rather than human initiative.
Numbers 20:11: And Moses lifted up his hand, and with his rod he smote the rock twice: and the water came out abundantly, and the congregation drank, and their beasts [also].
Contradiction with John 4:14
Genesis 26:19 involves finding physical water through labor, while John 4:14 speaks about Jesus offering "living water" that will prevent thirst forever, emphasizing spiritual satisfaction over physical.
John 4:14: But whosoever drinketh of the water that I shall give him shall never thirst; but the water that I shall give him shall be in him a well of water springing up into everlasting life.
Contradiction with Revelation 21:6
The well in Genesis 26:19 represents temporary provision necessitating labor, whereas Revelation 21:6 presents the gift of the water of life as freely given by God without effort.
Revelation 21:6: And he said unto me, It is done. I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end. I will give unto him that is athirst of the fountain of the water of life freely.
