Deuteronomy 7:7-8

LITV(i) 7 Jehovah did not set His love on you or choose you because you were more in number than any people, for you were the fewest of all peoples. 8 But because Jehovah loved you, and because He kept the oath which He swore to your fathers, Jehovah has caused you to go out with a strong hand, and redeemed you from the house of slaves, from the hand of Pharaoh king of Egypt.
