Contradiction with Genesis 29:27
This verse speaks about fulfilling Leah's week before Rachel could be given, implying a delay unlike Jacob's immediate request for a wife in Genesis 29:21.
Genesis 29:27: Fulfil her week, and we will give thee this also for the service which thou shalt serve with me yet seven other years.
Contradiction with Exodus 20:14
This commandment prohibits adultery, whereas Genesis 29:21 relates to Jacob's request for his wife, potentially resulting in polygamy which could be viewed as contrary.
Exodus 20:14: Thou shalt not commit adultery.
Contradiction with Matthew 5:28
This verse warns against lustful thoughts, while Genesis 29:21 reveals Jacob's eager desire for Rachel.
Matthew 5:28: But I say unto you, That whosoever looketh on a woman to lust after her hath committed adultery with her already in his heart.
Contradiction with 1 Corinthians 7:2
This verse suggests having one spouse to avoid immorality, in contrast to Jacob's situation of marrying multiple sisters mentioned in Genesis 29.
1 Corinthians 7:2: Nevertheless, [to avoid] fornication, let every man have his own wife, and let every woman have her own husband.
Paradox #1
This verse could be seen as conflicting with modern views on relationships and consent. In today's perspective, relationships are ideally based on mutual respect and equality, whereas the context in this verse might suggest a transactional or ownership view of relationships, which can be seen as morally outdated or inconsistent with contemporary values.
