Contradiction with Proverbs 21:3
This verse states that doing justice is more acceptable to the Lord than sacrifice, which can contradict the focus on a tribe's pursuit of judgment in Genesis 49:16.
Proverbs 21:3: To do justice and judgment [is] more acceptable to the LORD than sacrifice.
Contradiction with Matthew 7:1
This verse advises not to judge others, which conflicts with the role of Dan as a judge in Genesis 49:16.
Matthew 7:1: Judge not, that ye be not judged.
Contradiction with James 4:12
Emphasizes that there is only one lawgiver and judge, implying human judgment, as in Genesis 49:16, is not primary.
James 4:12: There is one lawgiver, who is able to save and to destroy: who art thou that judgest another?
Contradiction with Romans 12:19
Advises leaving vengeance to God, contradicting the idea of a tribe executing judgment as mentioned in Genesis 49:16.
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 Isaiah 11:3
Suggests judging not by what is seen or heard, conflicting with the idea of a tribe whose role involves judgment as stated in Genesis 49:16.
Isaiah 11:3: And shall make him of quick understanding in the fear of the LORD: and he shall not judge after the sight of his eyes, neither reprove after the hearing of his ears: [quick...: Heb. scent or, smell]
Paradox #1
Genesis 49:16 refers to the tribe of Dan and its role in providing justice. A potential contradiction could be that, although justice is emphasized, some biblical stories involving the tribe of Dan later depict actions that might not align with this ideal of fairness or justice, such as idolatry or violent actions. This contrast between the ideal role and actual actions might present an inconsistency.
