Do not abhor an Edomite, for he is your brother. Do not abhor an Egyptian, because you lived as an alien in his country. The third generation of children born to them may enter the assembly of the Lord. [Deut. 23:7-8]
Israel wasn't the only chosen people. God has a plan for everyone. Israel was chosen for one thing, Edomite and Egypt for another.
It's interesting that a land we think of as being so pagan - Egypt - played such a pivotal role in the history of God's people. For there was one Pharaoh who listened to what God had to say to him in a dream and thought enough of a man of God to put him in charge of his country.
