Deuteronomy:7:7-8
nkjv@Deuteronomy:7:7 @ The LORD did not set His love on you nor choose you because you were more in number than any other people, for you were the least of all peoples;
nkjv@Deuteronomy:7:8 @ but because the LORD loves you, and because He would keep the oath which He swore to your fathers, the LORD has brought you out with a mighty hand, and redeemed you from the house of bondage, from the hand of Pharaoh king of Egypt.
