Contradiction with Genesis 9:1
God commands Noah and his sons to be fruitful, multiply, and replenish the earth, which could be interpreted as encouraging marriages outside the immediate family, contrary to Jacob's selective marriage choice in Genesis 28:7.
Genesis 9:1: And God blessed Noah and his sons, and said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth.
Contradiction with Exodus 34:16
Warns against making marriages with the daughters of the land, which contrasts with Jacob's mission to find a wife among the daughters of Laban, his uncle, in Genesis 28:7.
Exodus 34:16: And thou take of their daughters unto thy sons, and their daughters go a whoring after their gods, and make thy sons go a whoring after their gods.
Contradiction with Deuteronomy 7:3
Prohibits intermarriage with foreign nations, emphasizing staying within one’s own group, which can seem at odds with Jacob being sent specifically to a foreign relative to find a wife.
Deuteronomy 7:3: Neither shalt thou make marriages with them; thy daughter thou shalt not give unto his son, nor his daughter shalt thou take unto thy son.
Contradiction with Judges 14:3
Samson’s parents question his choice to marry a Philistine woman, promoting marriage within one’s own people, conflicting with the idea of Jacob being directed to marry from his mother’s family in Haran.
Judges 14:3: Then his father and his mother said unto him, [Is there] never a woman among the daughters of thy brethren, or among all my people, that thou goest to take a wife of the uncircumcised Philistines? And Samson said unto his father, Get her for me; for she pleaseth me well. [pleaseth...: Heb. is right in mine eyes]
Contradiction with 1 Corinthians 7:39
States a widow is free to marry whom she wishes only in the Lord, suggesting freedom in choice within faith which contrasts with Jacob's specific directive to marry from his kindred in Genesis 28:7.
1 Corinthians 7:39: The wife is bound by the law as long as her husband liveth; but if her husband be dead, she is at liberty to be married to whom she will; only in the Lord.
