'Special' in the Bible

You, however, the Lord has selected and brought from Egypt, that iron-smelting furnace, to be his special people as you are today.

For thou art an holy people unto the LORD thy God: the LORD thy God hath chosen thee to be a special people unto himself, above all people that are upon the face of the earth.

for you are a holy people belonging to the Lord your God. The Lord has chosen you to be His own possession out of all the peoples on the face of the earth.

And today the Lord has affirmed that you are His special people as He promised you, that you are to keep all His commands,

For the Lord's allotment is his people, Jacob is his special possession.
