Deuteronomy 7:7-8

7“1The Lord did not 2make you His beloved nor choose you because you were greater in number than any of the peoples, since you were the fewest of all peoples,

8but because the Lord loved you and kept the 3oath which He swore to your forefathers, 4the Lord brought you out by a mighty hand and redeemed you from the house of 5slavery, from the hand of Pharaoh king of Egypt.
