﴿ وَلَقَدِ ٱخْتَرْنَٰهُمْ عَلَىٰ عِلْمٍ عَلَى ٱلْعَٰلَمِينَ ﴾

“and indeed, We chose them knowingly above all other people,”

And verily We chose them that is the Children of Israel with a knowledge that We had of their state over all the worlds that is the worlds of their time those of the rational beings.
