Contradiction with Genesis 2:24
Genesis 29:23 shows a man being deceitfully married to a woman other than the one he intended, contradicting the ideal of one man uniting with his chosen wife in Genesis 2:24.
Genesis 2:24: Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife: and they shall be one flesh.
Contradiction with Exodus 20:16
Genesis 29:23 involves deceit by Laban, which contradicts the commandment against bearing false witness.
Exodus 20:16: Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbour.
Contradiction with Deuteronomy 24:5
Genesis 29:23 involves a marriage built on deception, which contradicts the guidance in Deuteronomy 24:5 for a man to have a happy first year of marriage without burdens.
Deuteronomy 24:5: When a man hath taken a new wife, he shall not go out to war, neither shall he be charged with any business: [but] he shall be free at home one year, and shall cheer up his wife which he hath taken. [neither...: Heb. not any thing shall pass upon him]
Paradox #1
The moral conflict in Genesis 29:23 arises from the act of deception that takes place. The expectation of honesty and transparency in relationships is contradicted when one person tricks another, showing a lack of respect and integrity. This can raise questions about trust and fairness.
