Deuteronomy 10:15

Context
10:15 However, only to your ancestors did he 1  show his loving favor, 2  and he chose you, their descendants, 3  from all peoples – as is apparent today.

1 tn Heb “the Lord.” See note on “he” in 10:4.

2 tn Heb “take delight to love.” Here again the verb אָהַב (’ahav, “love”), juxtaposed with בָחַר (bakhar, “choose”), is a term in covenant contexts that describes the Lord’s initiative in calling the patriarchal ancestors to be the founders of a people special to him (cf. the note on the word “loved” in Deut 4:37).

3 tn The Hebrew text includes “after them,” but it is redundant in English style and has not been included in the translation.
