According to Moses, Israel, who is also named Jacob, took his family and everything he owned to a special place called Beersheba. There, he thanked and prayed to God, just like his father Isaac used to do.

Genesis 46:1: And Israel took his journey with all that he had, and came to Beersheba, and offered sacrifices unto the God of his father Isaac.

Contradiction with Matthew 6:24

Contradicts the concept of serving only one master, as Genesis 46:1 involves making offerings to God while already being in covenant with Him.

Matthew 6:24: No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon.

Contradiction with Isaiah 1:13

Condemns offerings and sacrifices that are given while leading a life contrary to God’s commands, questioning the validity of sacrifices like those made in Genesis 46:1.

Isaiah 1:13: Bring no more vain oblations; incense is an abomination unto me; the new moons and sabbaths, the calling of assemblies, I cannot away with; [it is] iniquity, even the solemn meeting. [iniquity: or, grief]

Contradiction with Amos 5:21-22

Criticizes insincere feasts and burnt offerings, implying such actions as in Genesis 46:1 could be meaningless if not backed by true faith and obedience.

Amos 5:21-22: I hate, I despise your feast days, and I will not smell in your solemn assemblies. [in...: or, your holy days]

Contradiction with Hosea 6:6

Highlights the preference for mercy and knowledge of God over burnt offerings, potentially opposing the emphasis on sacrifices seen in Genesis 46:1.

Hosea 6:6: For I desired mercy, and not sacrifice; and the knowledge of God more than burnt offerings.
