Contradiction with Matthew 7:1
This verse advises not to judge others, which contradicts Genesis 43:9's focus on taking responsibility and judgment.
Matthew 7:1: Judge not, that ye be not judged.
Contradiction with Proverbs 3:5
This verse suggests trusting in the Lord rather than relying on oneself, conflicting with Genesis 43:9 where Judah assumes personal responsibility.
Proverbs 3:5: Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding.
Paradox #1
Genesis 43:9 involves a promise of personal responsibility. The contradiction could be seen in the obligation to take responsibility for someone else's actions, which can be conflicting if the promiser lacks control over the other person's decisions. This could lead to moral conflict when the person making the promise is held accountable for outcomes beyond their control.
