This does not mean that they are in any way to be considered superior to other groups. Bible verses such as Exodus 19:5 simply state that God has selected Israel to receive and study the Torah, to worship God only, to rest on the Sabbath, and to celebrate the festivals.
Mistari kama vile Kutoka 19:5 inasema kuwa Mungu amechagua Israeli kupokea na kujifunza Torati, kuabudu Mungu tu, kupumzika siku ya Sabato, na kwa kusherehekea sikukuu.
