Genesis 9:25
23 Shem and Japheth took the garment and placed it on their shoulders. Then they walked in backwards and covered up their father’s nakedness. Their faces were turned the other way so they did not see their father’s nakedness. 24 When Noah awoke from his drunken stupor he learned what his youngest son had done to him. 25 So he said,“Cursed be Canaan! The lowest of slaves he will be to his brothers.” 26 He also said,“Worthy of praise is the Lord, the God of Shem! May Canaan be the slave of Shem! 27 May God enlarge Japheth’s territory and numbers! May he live in the tents of Shem and may Canaan be the slave of Japheth!”
Wisdom of Solomon 12:11
9 though you were not unable to give the ungodly into the hands of the righteous in battle, or to destroy them at one blow by dread wild animals or your stern word. 10 But judging them little by little you gave them an opportunity to repent, though you were not unaware that their origin was evil and their wickedness inborn, and that their way of thinking would never change. 11 For they were an accursed race from the beginning, and it was not through fear of anyone that you left them unpunished for their sins. 12 For who will say, "What have you done?" or will resist your judgment? Who will accuse you for the destruction of nations that you made? Or who will come before you to plead as an advocate for the unrighteous? 13 For neither is there any god besides you, whose care is for all people, to whom you should prove that you have not judged unjustly;
Notes and References
"... In response to the suggestion that the utter destruction God commanded for the Canaanites is unjust, the sage implies that the total annihilation of the population is justified because every last Canaanite, even the young children, was individually guilty. The sage appeals to their inborn nature to explain how he knows that every Canaanite was deserving of punishment (verse 10). Ben Sira similarly depicts the Canaanites as having been evil from creation (Sirach 33:10-12). Both sages diverge from the biblical depiction of the Canaanites inheriting their inferiority from the punishment of their eponymous ancestor, Canaan, for a sin committed by his father, Ham (Genesis 9:22-27 ... It is possible that the language of cursing in Wisdom of Solomon 12:11 refers to the Genesis account of Noah’s cursing of Canaan). The biblical depiction explains the status of the Canaanites as an intergenerational punishment for human sin. The author of the Wisdom of Solomon explains it as a feature of creation. This explanation seems to be a response to claims that God’s punishment of total annihilation was unjust (see Wisdom of Solomon 12:12). By building their evil nature into creation, God’s justice is vindicated, unless, of course one questions why he would have created an innately wicked people. God, who the sage claims is merciful to all (Wisdom of Solomon 11:23), also loves all of his creations and would not have made anything that he hated (verse 24) ..."
