⁶For you are a holy people for Yahweh your God; Yahweh your God has chosen you to be for him a people, a treasured possession from among all the peoples that are on the face^q of the earth.

⁷“Yahweh loved you and chose you not because of your great number^r exceeding all other peoples, for you are fewer than all of the peoples, ⁸but^s because of^t the love of Yahweh for you and because of his keeping of the sworn oath that he swore to your ancestors,^u Yahweh brought you out with a strong hand and redeemed you from the house of slavery, from the hand of Pharaoh, the king of Egypt. ⁹So know that Yahweh your God, he is God, the trustworthy God, maintaining his^v covenant and his^w loyal love with those who love him and with those who keep his commandments to a thousand generations,^x ¹⁰but repaying those^y who hate him in their own person^z to destroy them;^a he is not slow with those who hate him in their own person;^b he repays them.^c ¹¹And so you shall keep the commandment and the rules and the regulations that I am commanding you today^d to observe them.
