"But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it: for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die." 2:17
God says that if Adam eats from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, then the day that he does so, he will die. But later Adam eats the forbidden fruit (3:6) and yet lives for another 930 years (5:5).
"A fugitive and a vagabond shalt thou be." 4:12
As a punishment for killing Abel, God says Cain will be "a fugitive and a vagabond." Yet in just a few verses (4:16-17) Cain will settle down, marry, have a son, and build a city. This is not the activity one would expect from a fugitive and a vagabond.
"In the fourth generation they [Abraham's descendants] shall come hither again." 15:16
But, if we count Abraham, then their return occurred after seven generations: Abraham, Isaac (Gen 21:1-3), Jacob (Gen.25:19-26), Levi (Gen 35:22-23), Kohath (Ex 6:16), Amramn(Ex 6:18), and Moses (Ex 6:20).
"I will make thy seed to multiply as the stars of heaven." 26:4
God promises to make Isaac's descendents as numerous as "the stars of heaven," which, of course, never happened. The Jews have always been a small minority. 22:17-18
The land whereon thou liest, to thee will I give it, and to thy seed; And thy seed shall be as the dust of the earth, and thou shalt spread abroad. 28:13-14
God promises Abram and his descendants all of the land of Canaan. But both history and the Bible (Acts 7:5 and Hebrews 11:13) show that God's promise to Abram was not fulfilled. (13:15, 15:18, 17:8)
"Thy name shall not be called any more Jacob, but Israel shall be thy name." 35:10
God renames Jacob twice (32:28, 35:10). God says that Jacob will henceforth be called Israel, but the Bible continues to call him Jacob anyway (47:28-29). And even God himself calls him Jacob in 46:2. 32:28
" And God spake unto Israel in the visions of the night, and said, Jacob, Jacob." 46:2
God calls Jacob Jacob, though he said in Gen.32:28 and 35:10 that he would no longer be called Jacob but Israel.
"I [God] will go down with thee into Egypt; and I will also surely bring thee up again." 46:3
God promises to bring Jacob safely back from Egypt, but Jacob dies in Egypt (Gen.47:28-29)
"The sceptre shall not depart from Judah, nor a lawgiver from between his feet, until Shiloh come." 49:10
The tribe of Judah will reign "until Shiloh," but Israel's first king (Saul) was from the tribe of Benjamin (Acts 13:21), and most of the time after this prophecy there was no king at all.
" So Joseph died, being an hundred and ten years old." Gen.50:26
Contrary to the prophecy in 48:21, Joseph died in Egypt, not Israel.
