Deuteronomy 7:6-8

Amplified Bible, Classic Edition

⁶ For you are a holy and set-apart people to the Lord your God; the Lord your God has chosen you to be a special people to Himself out of all the peoples on the face of the earth.

⁷ The Lord did not set His love upon you and choose you because you were more in number than any other people, for you were the fewest of all people.

⁸ But because the Lord loves you and because He would keep the oath which He had sworn to your fathers, the Lord has brought you out with a mighty hand and redeemed you out of the house of bondage, from the hand of Pharaoh king of Egypt.
