1 Genesis 22:1 And it came to pass after these things, that God did tempt Abraham, and said unto him, Abraham: and he said, Behold, here I am.
James 1:13 Let no man say when he is tempted, I am tempted of God: for God cannot be tempted with evil, neither tempteth he any
Exodus 32:14 And the LORD repented of the evil which he thought to do unto his people.
Numbers 23:19 God is not a man, that he should lie; neither the son of man, that he should repent: hath he said, and shall he not do it? or hath he spoken, and shall he not make it good?
1- The word in Hebrew is "Prove" . And there was no evil involved.
The Hebrew word for " prove " is used many places in the Bible, here is one "
Exodus 15:25
King James Version (KJV)
25 And he cried unto the Lord; and the Lord shewed him a tree, which when he had cast into the waters, the waters were made sweet: there he made for them a statute and an ordinance, and there he
proved them,
The Word is -
nâsâh
naw-saw'
A primitive root; to test ; by implication to attempt: - {adventure} {assay}
{prove} {tempt} try.
2 - is actually talking evil , which was not done in Genesis 22:1
3- Exodus 32: 14, There is no contradiction here, you just read that God dose not tempt man with evil.
And temptation is not the subject for Exodus 32. Moses is pleading with God, to not wipe out all the people, why, because they worshiped fake gods and committed sins and evil; after all God had done for them. The subject is wiping them all out. So evil in the older style english, is not read in the liniear way we look at the word in modern times.
This is the Hebrew for the word evil :
ra‛ râ‛âh
{rah} raw-aw'
From
H7489 ; bad or (as noun) evil (naturally or morally). This includes the second (feminine) form; as adjective or noun: - {adversity} {affliction} {bad} {calamity} + displease ({-ure}) {distress} evil ({[-favouredness]} {man} {thing}) + {exceedingly} X {great} grief ({-vous}) {harm} {heavy} hurt ({-ful}) ill ({favoured}) + {mark} {mischief} ({-vous}) {misery} naught ({-ty}) {noisome} + not {please} sad ({-ly}) {sore} {sorrow} {trouble} {vex} wicked ({-ly} {-ness} {one}) worse (-st) {wretchedness} wrong. [Including feminine ra´ ah; as adjective or noun.]
Prime-
râ‛a‛
raw-ah'
A primitive root; properly to spoil (literally by breaking to pieces); figuratively to make (or be ) good for {nothing} that {is} bad ({physically} socially or morally). ( associate selves and show self friendly are by mistake for H7462.): - {afflict} associate selves [by mistake for {H7462]} break ({down} in {pieces}) + {displease} ({be} {bring} do) evil ({doer} {entreat} {man}) show self friendly [by mistake for {H7462]} do {harm} (do) {hurt} (behave {self} deal) {ill} X {indeed} do {mischief} {punish} still {vex} (do) wicked ({doer} {-ly}) be ({deal} do) worse.
So you see, subject is important. This would be more like Calamity rather then how our minds view the word "evil" here.
