Deuteronomy 7:6-9

6For you are 1a holy people to the Lord your God; the Lord your God has chosen you to be 2a people for His 3own possession out of all the peoples who are on the face of the 4earth.

7“5The Lord did not set His love on you nor choose you because you were more in number than any of the peoples, for you were the fewest of all peoples, 8but because the Lord loved you and kept the 6oath which He swore to your forefathers, 7the Lord brought you out by a mighty hand and redeemed you from the house of 8slavery, from the hand of Pharaoh king of Egypt. 9Know therefore that the Lord your God, 9He is God, 10the faithful God, 11who keeps 12His covenant and 13His lovingkindness to a thousandth generation with those who 14love Him and keep His commandments;
