Contradiction with Deuteronomy 7:6
This verse emphasizes Israel as a holy people and chosen, suggesting separation rather than agreeing to intermarriage as in Genesis 34:8.

This verse speaks against being unequally yoked with unbelievers, contradicting the suggestion of union in Genesis 34:8.

Paradox #1
Genesis 34:8 involves a situation where Shechem's father, Hamor, speaks to Jacob and his sons with a proposal after Shechem's violent act against their sister, Dinah. The moral conflict here can be seen in the idea of trying to make peace and form alliances by marriage after such a wrong was committed. It raises issues around justice, forgiveness, and the treatment of women, as it seems to address diplomatic and social solutions without adequately addressing the harm and wrongdoing done to Dinah.
