Matthew Poole and continuators on Nehemiah 9:7

7 Thou art the LORD the God, who didst choose Abram , and broughtest him forth out of Ur of the Chaldees, and gavest him the name of Abraham.

Out of the midst of all his nation and family. When thou didst pass by, and neglect the rest of them, suffering them to walk on in their idolatrous and destructive courses; thou didst chuse, and single out him to serve and glorify thee, to be Father of all the faithful, the progenitor of the Messias, and the person in whom, not we only, but all nations should be blessed, and to enjoy thee to all eternity.
