Deuteronomy 7:7-9

7Not because ye were more in number than all the peoples, hath Jehovah been attached to you and chosen you, for ye are the fewest of all the peoples;

8but because Jehovah loved you, and because he would keep the oath which he had sworn unto your fathers, hath Jehovah brought you out with a powerful hand, and redeemed you out of the house of bondage, from the hand of Pharaoh king of Egypt.

9And thou shalt know that Jehovah thy 1God, he is 2God, the faithful 3God, who keepeth covenant and mercy to a thousand generations with them that love him and keep his commandments;
