24 But I have said to you, ‘You shall inherit their land, and I will give it to you to possess, a land ^wflowing with milk and honey.’ I am the Lord your God, ^xwho has separated you from the peoples.

26 You shall be holy to me, for I the Lord am holy and have separated you from the peoples, that you should be mine.

53 For you ^zseparated them from among all the peoples of the earth to be your heritage, as you declared through Moses your servant, when you brought our fathers out of Egypt, O Lord God.”
