Bonaventure, on Wis 12:3

“For those ancient inhabitants of thy holy land, whom thou didst abhor,”

“For those, etc. Here is touched upon the equity of punishment, and first from consideration of the fault itself; second, from consideration of the punishment: You willed to destroy. (Verse 3). For those etc. I rightly said: You correct, etc., which is clear from the example. For those ancient inhabitants, namely the Canaanites and the Amorites and others of this kind, inhabitants of Your holy land, that is, the land promised to Your Saints, namely Abraham, Genesis fifteen; Isaac, twenty-six; Jacob, twenty-eight: whom You abhorred, so much so that You willed Your people neither be joined to them nor mixed with them, according to Deuteronomy seven: "You shall not enter into a covenant with them, nor shall you join in marriages, nor shall you show mercy to them."”
