In Judaism, the phrase 'chosen' does not mean that we think that we are better than anyone else or have an elevated status in God's eyes. What 'chosen' refers to is that we were chosen to keep the Torah, that is it. What most people don't know is that according to Jewish teachings, God actually offered the Torah to every other nation before the Israelites but we were the only ones to accept it without question.

And in you all the families of the earth will be blessed'" (Genesis 12:1-3) The great nation that descended from Abraham was Israel.
