Deuteronomy 7:7-8

7 The Lord did not set his affection on you and choose you because you were more numerous than other peoples, for you were the fewest of all peoples. 8 But it was because the Lord loved you and kept the oath he swore to your forefathers that he brought you out with a might hand and redeemed you from the land of slavery, from the power of Pharaah King of Egypt.
