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.
Ibn Abbas Commentary
(And We chose them) i.e. the Children of Israel, (purposely) in accordance with Our knowledge, (above (all) creatures) of their time, by bestowing upon them quails and honey, the Scripture and Messenger, and by saving them from Pharaoh and his folk and from drowning.
