Commentaire sur Le Deutéronome 7:8
כִּי֩ מֵֽאַהֲבַ֨ת יְהוָ֜ה אֶתְכֶ֗ם וּמִשָּׁמְר֤וּ אֶת־הַשְּׁבֻעָה֙ אֲשֶׁ֤ר נִשְׁבַּע֙ לַאֲבֹ֣תֵיכֶ֔ם הוֹצִ֧יא יְהוָ֛ה אֶתְכֶ֖ם בְּיָ֣ד חֲזָקָ֑ה וַֽיִּפְדְּךָ֙ מִבֵּ֣ית עֲבָדִ֔ים מִיַּ֖ד פַּרְעֹ֥ה מֶֽלֶךְ־מִצְרָֽיִם׃
c’est parce que l’Éternel vous aime, parce qu’il est fidèle au serment qu’il a fait à vos aïeux; voilà pourquoi il vous a, d’un bras puissant, arrachés et sauvés de la maison de servitude, de la main de Pharaon, roi d’Égypte.
Rashi on Deuteronomy
כי מאהבת — Here, however, you have the word כי used in the sense of “but": NOT ON ACCOUNT THAT YE WERE MORE NUMEROUS … DID GOD DELIGHT IN YOU … BUT ON ACCOUNT OF THE LORD'S LOVE TO YOU.

Siftei Chakhamim
On account of His keeping the oath. This prefix mem is not in place of the word מן (from), which is usual in most instances. Rather it should be interpreted as, “because.”
