1 When Israel was a child, then I loved him, and called my son out of Egypt.
And thou shalt say unto Pharaoh, Thus saith Jehovah, Israel is my son, my first-born:
and was there until the death of Herod: that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the Lord through the prophet, saying, Out of Egypt did I call my son.
Jehovah did not set his love upon you, nor choose you, because ye were more in number than any people; for ye were the fewest of all peoples:
Go, and cry in the ears of Jerusalem, saying, Thus saith Jehovah, I remember for thee the kindness of thy youth, the love of thine espousals; how thou wentest after me in the wilderness, in a land that was not sown.
And by a prophet Jehovah brought Israel up out of Egypt, and by a prophet was he preserved.
Yet I am Jehovah thy God from the land of Egypt; and thou shalt know no god but me, and besides me there is no saviour.
