Contradiction with Genesis 17:7
This verse describes God's covenant with Abraham and his descendants, promising an everlasting covenant, which is implied to include all nations, whereas Genesis 48:1 focuses on Jacob's specific blessings to Joseph's sons.
Genesis 17:7: And I will establish my covenant between me and thee and thy seed after thee in their generations for an everlasting covenant, to be a God unto thee, and to thy seed after thee.
Contradiction with Exodus 20:12
This verse emphasizes honoring one's father and mother to ensure long life, while Genesis 48:1 describes a situation where Jacob, the father figure, is sick and approaching death, thereby introducing a contradiction in the expected outcome of honoring one's parents.
Exodus 20:12: Honour thy father and thy mother: that thy days may be long upon the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee.
Contradiction with Matthew 8:21-22
Jesus advises a follower to prioritize spreading the gospel over burying his father, contradicting the familial focus and duty highlighted in Genesis 48:1, where Joseph visits his ailing father.
Matthew 8:21-22: And another of his disciples said unto him, Lord, suffer me first to go and bury my father.
Contradiction with Luke 9:59-60
Similar to Matthew 8:21-22, this passage involves Jesus instructing to 'let the dead bury their own dead,' which contradicts the importance placed on visiting and caring for an ailing father seen in Genesis 48:1.
Luke 9:59-60: And he said unto another, Follow me. But he said, Lord, suffer me first to go and bury my father.
Contradiction with 1 Timothy 5:8
This verse instructs to provide for one's family, presenting a clearer sense of duty, while in Genesis 48:1, the focus is on the blessings and inheritance rather than direct provision.
1 Timothy 5:8: But if any provide not for his own, and specially for those of his own house, he hath denied the faith, and is worse than an infidel. [house: or, kindred]
