Primero el texto
Donde difieren los lectores
El resumen comienza con lo que dice el pasaje y cómo se relacionan sus partes. No supone que una denominación ya haya resuelto cada pregunta. Toda dependencia de una tradición, teoría literaria o reconstrucción histórica se identifica con claridad.
El texto KJV aparece primero. Las conclusiones interpretativas se identifican, y las diferencias se presentan cuando ayudan a explicar por qué las comunidades serias no siempre llegan a la misma respuesta.
¿Justifica racismo la maldición de Noé?
No. Génesis 9:25 nombra a Canaán. No maldice a todos los descendientes de Cam, no menciona el color de piel y no autoriza un sistema racial de esclavitud. El texto cercano mantiene la dignidad humana arraigada en la imagen de Dios.
