Deuteronomy 7:7-8

LEB(i) 7 "Yahweh loved you and chose you not because of your great number* exceeding all other peoples, for you are fewer than all of the peoples, 8 but* because of* the love of Yahweh for you and because of his keeping of the sworn oath that he swore to your ancestors,* Yahweh brought you out with a strong hand and redeemed you from the house of slavery, from the hand of Pharaoh, the king of Egypt.
