Contradiction with Exodus 20:12
This verse emphasizes honoring parents, potentially contradicting Jacob's actions in Genesis 48:12, where a customary protocol involving parents is modified.
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 19:14
Jesus' exhortation to let children come to him contrasts with Joseph positioning his children before Jacob, who doesn't immediately prioritize them.
Matthew 19:14: But Jesus said, Suffer little children, and forbid them not, to come unto me: for of such is the kingdom of heaven.
Contradiction with Proverbs 22:6
This verse discusses the upbringing of a child in a consistent manner, which contrasts with the unique blessing method in Genesis 48:12.
Proverbs 22:6: Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it. [Train...: or, Catechise] [in...: Heb. in his way]
Contradiction with 1 Samuel 16:7
This verse states that the Lord looks at the heart, not the outward appearance, challenging the emphasis on right hand placement in Genesis 48:12.
1 Samuel 16:7: But the LORD said unto Samuel, Look not on his countenance, or on the height of his stature; because I have refused him: for [the LORD seeth] not as man seeth; for man looketh on the outward appearance, but the LORD looketh on the heart. [outward...: Heb. eyes]
Contradiction with 1 Corinthians 14:33
This verse implies God is not the author of confusion; Genesis 48:12 may introduce familial confusion with the crossing of hands during blessings.
1 Corinthians 14:33: For God is not [the author] of confusion, but of peace, as in all churches of the saints. [confusion: Gr. tumult, or, unquietness]
