Deuteronomy 7:7-8
7 “The Lord was devoted to you and chose you, not because you were more numerous than all peoples, for you were the fewest of all peoples.
8 But because the Lord loved(A) you and kept the oath He swore to your fathers, He brought you out with a strong hand and redeemed(B) you from the place of slavery, from the power of Pharaoh king of Egypt.
