1 Kings 8:51-53

Evangelical Heritage Version

⁵¹ For they are your people and your possession, which you brought out of Egypt, from the midst of the iron-smelting furnace.

⁵² Let your eyes be open to the plea for mercy from your servant and to the plea for mercy from your people Israel. Hear them whenever they cry out to you. ⁵³ For you singled them out for yourself as your possession from all the peoples of the earth, just as you said through Moses your servant when you brought our fathers out of Egypt, O Lord God.
