7“22The LordH3068 did not 23makeH2836 you His belovedH2836 norH3808 chooseH977 you becauseH3588 you wereH7231 greaterH7231 in numberH7231 thanH4480 anyH3605 of the peoplesH5971, sinceH3588 you were the fewestH4592 of allH3605 peoplesH5971, 8but becauseH3588 the LordH3068 lovedH157 you and keptH8104 the 24oathH7621 whichH834 He sworeH7650 to your forefathersH1, 25the LordH3068 broughtH3318 you outH3318 by a mightyH2389 handH3027 and redeemedH6299 you from the houseH1004 of 26slaveryH5650, from the handH3027 of PharaohH6547 kingH4428 of EgyptH4714. 9KnowH3045 therefore that the LordH3068 your GodH430, 27He is GodH430, 28the faithfulH539 GodH410, 29who keepsH8104 30His covenantH1285 and 31His faithfulnessH2617 to a thousandH505 generationsH1755 for those who 32loveH157 Him and keepH8104 His commandmentsH4687;
