Contradiction with Exodus 20:15
This verse, which commands "Thou shalt not steal," may contradict Genesis 42:34 if interpreted as Joseph's brothers' past actions, involving deceit and theft, contrasting their eventual honest intentions.
Exodus 20:15: Thou shalt not steal.
Contradiction with Matthew 5:44
This verse instructs to "love your enemies," which might contradict the sentiment of achieving trust through actions underlined in Genesis 42:34, without explicit emphasis on love and forgiveness.
Matthew 5:44: But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you;
Contradiction with Romans 12:19
Advises "avenge not yourselves," which contradicts the underlying theme of trust restoration present in Genesis 42:34 through the requirement of proving innocence.
Romans 12:19: Dearly beloved, avenge not yourselves, but [rather] give place unto wrath: for it is written, Vengeance [is] mine; I will repay, saith the Lord.
Contradiction with Proverbs 3:5
Encourages trusting in the Lord wholly, while Genesis 42:34 implies trust contingent on human action and verification among Joseph's brothers.
Proverbs 3:5: Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding.
Contradiction with John 8:32
States "the truth shall make you free," potentially contrasting with Genesis 42:34's implication that freedom comes through proving truth to others rather than inherent truth itself.
John 8:32: And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.
