WHY THEY WERE CHOSEN

(Deu 7:6 KJV) For thou art a holy people unto the LORD thy God: the LORD thy God hath chosen thee to be a special people unto himself, above all people that are upon the face of the earth.

(Deu 7:7 KJV) The LORD 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 people:

(Deu 7:8 KJV) But because the LORD loved you, and because he would keep the oath which he had sworn unto your fathers, hath the LORD brought you out with a mighty hand, and redeemed you out of the house of bondmen, from the hand of Pharaoh King of Egypt.

(Deu 7:9 KJV) Know therefore that the LORD thy God, he is God, the faithful God, which keepeth covenant and mercy with them that love him and keep his commandments to a thousand generations;

(Deu 7:11 KJV) Thou shalt therefore keep the commandments, and the statutes, and the judgments, which I command thee this day, to do them.

(Deu 7:12 KJV) Wherefore it shall come to pass, if ye hearken to these judgments, and keep, and do them, that the LORD thy God shall keep unto thee the covenant and the mercy which he swore unto thy fathers:

(Deu 7:13 KJV) And he will love thee, and bless thee, and multiply thee: he will also bless the fruit of thy womb, and the fruit of thy land, thy corn, and thy wine, and thine oil, the increase of thy kin, and the flocks of thy sheep, in the land which he sware unto thy fathers to give thee.

God chose them to show us the way. By example, by following His Commandments and expressing the love for the stranger as we all should love our neighbors. It is spelled out in scripture, all you have to do is read it and do it and then it will be done.

(Lev 19:34 KJV) But the stranger that dwelleth with you shall be unto you as one born among you, and thou shalt love him as thyself; for ye were strangers in the land of Egypt: I am the LORD your God

They were chosen to show us the way, to show us how to treat the stranger, how to be compassionate and loving to your neighbor and by doing so peace would envelope the world.

I begin this essay with Joseph because this is where it all began.

.

Here is the linage from Noah to Rachel to Joseph
 
(Gen 5:28 KJV)  And Lamech lived an hundred eighty and two years, and begat a son:
 
(Gen 5:29 KJV)  And he called his name Noah
 
(Gen 5:32 KJV)  And Noah was five hundred years old: and Noah begat Shem
 
(Gen 10:21 KJV)  Unto Shem also, the father of all the children of Eber
 
(Gen 10:25 KJV)  And unto Eber were born two sons: the name of one was Peleg;
 
(Gen 11:18 KJV)  And Peleg lived thirty years, and begat Reu:
 
(Gen 11:20 KJV)  And Reu lived two and thirty years, and begat Serug:
 
(Gen 11:22 KJV)  And Serug lived thirty years, and begat Nahor:
 
(Gen 22:20 KJV)  And it came to pass after these things, that it was told Abraham, saying, Behold, Milcah, she hath also born children unto thy brother Nahor;
 
(Gen 22:21 KJV)  Huz his firstborn, and Buz his brother, and Kemuel the father of Aram,
 
(Gen 22:22 KJV)  And Chesed, and Hazo, and Pildash, and Jidlaph, and Bethuel.
 
(Gen 22:23 KJV)  And Bethuel begat Rebekah
 
(Gen 24:29 KJV)  And Rebekah had a brother, and his name was Laban.
 
(Gen 29:16 KJV)  And Laban had two daughters.,.and the name of the younger was Rachel
 
(Gen 30:25 KJV)  And it came to pass, when Rachel had born Joseph.


On a talkboard about the family tree a poster corrected me & I pass this correction on:


In the Book of Exodus, Amram is the husband of Jochebed and father of Aaron, Moses and Miriam. 
  


.
According to the Torah, the tribe is named after Levi, one of the twelve sons of Jacob (also called Israel). Levi had three sons: Gershon, Kohath, and Merari (Genesis 46:11). Kohath's son Amram was the father of Miriam, Aaron and Moses. 
 
 And Joseph is where I begin this unfolding story---
