Deuteronomy 7:8

But because the LORD loved you, and because he would keep the oath which he had sworn unto your fathers, hath the LORD brought you out with a mighty hand, and redeemed you out of the house of bondmen, from the hand of Pharaoh king of Egypt.

KJV

sed quia dilexit vos Dominus, et custodivit juramentum, quod juravit patribus vestris : eduxitque vos in manu forti, et redemit de domo servitutis, de manu Pharaonis regis Ægypti.

Vulgate

ἀλλὰ παρὰ τὸ ἀγαπᾷν Κύριον ὑμᾶς, καὶ διατηρῶν τὸν ὅρκον ὃν ὤμοσεν τοῖς πατράσιν ὑμῶν, ἐξήγαγεν Κύριος ὑμᾶς ἐν χειρὶ κραταιᾷ, καὶ ἐλυτρώσατό ἐξ οἴκου δουλίας, ἐκ χειρὸς Φαραὼ βασιλέως Αἰγύπτου.

LXX

but because Jehovah loveth you, and because he would keep the oath which he sware unto your fathers, hath Jehovah brought you out with a mighty hand, and redeemed you out of the house of bondage, from the hand of Pharaoh king of Egypt.
