Contradiction with Genesis 37:10
This verse of Genesis 37:10 contradicts Genesis 37:6 because, in verse 6, Joseph shares his dream, symbolizing his rise over his family. However, in verse 10, his father criticizes and disputes the idea, showing disbelief and disapproval.
Genesis 37:10: And he told [it] to his father, and to his brethren: and his father rebuked him, and said unto him, What [is] this dream that thou hast dreamed? Shall I and thy mother and thy brethren indeed come to bow down ourselves to thee to the earth?
Contradiction with Proverbs 16:18
Proverbs 16:18 cautions that pride precedes destruction, contradicting Genesis 37:6, where Joseph's dream might be seen as a display of pride, suggesting his rise above others.
Proverbs 16:18: Pride [goeth] before destruction, and an haughty spirit before a fall.
Contradiction with Matthew 20:16
Matthew 20:16, "So the last shall be first, and the first last," contradicts Genesis 37:6 by reversing Joseph's dream's implication of supremacy, asserting that the order is not as presumed.
Matthew 20:16: So the last shall be first, and the first last: for many be called, but few chosen.
Contradiction with Ezekiel 18:20
Ezekiel 18:20 states that each person is responsible for their own actions, opposing Genesis 37:6's implicit idea that Joseph's dreams of authority over his family were inevitable or inherently justified.
Ezekiel 18:20: The soul that sinneth, it shall die. The son shall not bear the iniquity of the father, neither shall the father bear the iniquity of the son: the righteousness of the righteous shall be upon him, and the wickedness of the wicked shall be upon him.
