37 And because he ⁿloved your fathers and chose their offspring after them¹ and brought you out of Egypt ^owith his own presence, by his great power,

7 It was not because you were more in number than any other people that the Lord set his love on you and chose you, for you were the fewest of all peoples,

15 Yet the Lord set his heart in ^plove on your fathers and chose their offspring after them, you above all peoples, as you are this day.

2 ^sFor you are a people ^tholy to the Lord your God, and the Lord has chosen you to be a people for his treasured possession, ^uout of all the peoples who are on the face of the earth.
