Contradiction with Genesis 1:28
Genesis 30:21 simply records the birth of a daughter, Dinah, without emphasizing being fruitful and multiplying as in Genesis 1:28, suggesting different narrative purposes.
Genesis 1:28: And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth. [moveth: Heb. creepeth]
Contradiction with Exodus 21:7
Genesis 30:21 mentions the birth of a daughter without legal implications, while Exodus 21:7 outlines specific laws regarding the selling of daughters.
Exodus 21:7: And if a man sell his daughter to be a maidservant, she shall not go out as the menservants do.
Contradiction with Numbers 27:8
Genesis 30:21 notes Dinah's birth, diminishing the focus on inheritance laws for daughters highlighted in Numbers 27:8.
Numbers 27:8: And thou shalt speak unto the children of Israel, saying, If a man die, and have no son, then ye shall cause his inheritance to pass unto his daughter.
Contradiction with Galatians 3:28
Genesis 30:21 acknowledges Dinah's gender, while Galatians 3:28 stresses equality in Christ, irrespective of gender, creating a contrast in focus.
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.
Contradiction with Proverbs 31:30
Genesis 30:21 makes no moral judgment, unlike Proverbs 31:30, which emphasizes a woman's value based on her fear of the Lord.
Proverbs 31:30: Favour [is] deceitful, and beauty [is] vain: [but] a woman [that] feareth the LORD, she shall be praised.
Contradiction with 1 Timothy 2:12
Genesis 30:21 is a neutral record of birth, whereas 1 Timothy 2:12 expresses restrictions on women's roles, which could imply societal views not evident in the Genesis passage.
1 Timothy 2:12: But I suffer not a woman to teach, nor to usurp authority over the man, but to be in silence.
