This verse speaks of the royal lineage coming from Judah, potentially contradicting the allocation of land discussed in Joshua as it emphasizes Judah's prominence.
Genesis 49:10: The sceptre shall not depart from Judah, nor a lawgiver from between his feet, until Shiloh come; and unto him [shall] the gathering of the people [be].
Contradiction with Numbers 26:55
The inheritance by lot may contradict Joshua 18:14's specific territorial border descriptions by suggesting a more randomized distribution.
Numbers 26:55: Notwithstanding the land shall be divided by lot: according to the names of the tribes of their fathers they shall inherit.
Contradiction with Deuteronomy 11:24
Promises broader territorial claims that could contradict the more limited and specific borders outlined in Joshua 18:14.
Deuteronomy 11:24: Every place whereon the soles of your feet shall tread shall be yours: from the wilderness and Lebanon, from the river, the river Euphrates, even unto the uttermost sea shall your coast be.
Contradiction with Judges 1:21
Describes the Jebusites dwelling in Jerusalem, which could contradict the territorial assignments in Joshua that imply Judah’s control.
Judges 1:21: And the children of Benjamin did not drive out the Jebusites that inhabited Jerusalem; but the Jebusites dwell with the children of Benjamin in Jerusalem unto this day.
