7 H3068 The LORD H2836 did not set his love [H8804] H977 upon you, nor choose [H8799] H7230 you, because ye were more H5971 in number than any people H4592 ; for ye were the fewest H5971 of all people:

8 H3068 But because the LORD H160 loved H8104 you, and because he would keep [H8800] H7621 the oath H7650 which he had sworn [H8738] H1 unto your fathers H3068 , hath the LORD H3318 brought you out [H8689] H2389 with a mighty H3027 hand H6299 , and redeemed [H8799] H1004 you out of the house H5650 of bondmen H3027 , from the hand H6547 of Pharaoh H4428 king H4714 of Egypt.

9 H3045 Know [H8804] H3068 therefore that the LORD H430 thy God H430 , he is God H539 , the faithful [H8737] H410 God H8104 , which keepeth [H8802] H1285 covenant H2617 and mercy H157 with them that love [H8802] H8104 him and keep [H8802] H4687 his commandments H505 to a thousand H1755 generations;
