A Nation Set Apart – Devarim 7:1-8:20 – EBDM 128

 "6 For you are a holy people to YAHWEH your ELOHIM: YAHWEH your ELOHIM has chosen you to be a people for his own possession, above all peoples who are on the face of the earth. 7 YAHWEH didn’t set his love on you, nor choose you, because you were more in number than any people; for you were the fewest of all peoples: 8 but because YAHWEH loves you, and because he would keep the oath which he swore to your fathers, has YAHWEH brought you out with a mighty hand, and redeemed you out of the house of bondage, from the hand of Pharaoh king of Egypt. 9 Know therefore that YAHWEH your ELOHIM, he is ELOHIM, the faithful ELOHIM, who keeps covenant and loving kindness with them who love him and keep his commandments to a thousand generations, 10 and repays those who hate him to their face, to destroy them: he will not be slack to him who hates him, he will repay him to his face."

Deuteronomy 7:6-10
