Deuteronomy 7:6-8
Legacy Standard Bible
6 For you are (A)a holy people to Yahweh your God; Yahweh your God has chosen you to be (B)a people for His [a]own treasured possession out of all the peoples who are on the face of the [b]earth.
7 “(C)Yahweh did not set His affection on you nor choose you because you were more in number than any of the peoples, for you were the fewest of all peoples, 8 but because Yahweh loved you and kept the (D)oath which He swore to your fathers, (E)Yahweh brought you out with a strong hand and redeemed you from the house of [c]slavery, from the hand of Pharaoh king of Egypt.
