Moses said: “You continue to live, because [Jehovah] loved your forefathers so that he chose their seed after them and brought you out of Egypt in his sight with his great power, to drive away nations greater and mightier than you from before you, so as to bring you in, to give you their land as an inheritance as at this day. ” ​ — Deuteronomy 4: 37, 38.
موسی گفت :‏ « از این جهت که [یَهُوَه] پدران تو را دوست داشته ،‏ ذریّت ایشان را بعد از ایشان برگزیده بود ،‏ تو را به حضرت خود با قوّت عظیم از مصر بیرون آورد .‏
