Consider that you have only a collection of books written by Hebrews upon which to base the question. (actually it was the Christians who labeled the Jews as "chosen people" first.)

In actuality, the Jewish idea of "chosenness" doesn't preclude other nations from being chosen in different ways. So who knows what's out there on other planets.

How does the Exodus story reinforce the Hebrews' role as Chosen People?

A:Most scholars now regard the Hebrew people as being Canaanite peasants who migrated from the region of the rich coastal cities to settle peacefully in the hitherto sparsely populated hinterland. Gradually, as the Israelites forgot their true origin, they looked for a more colourful history, one that helped explain why they were there and why their God had chosen them as his people.The story of the Exodus met this requirement. It proved to their own satisfaction that their God was the greatest of all gods and that he had chosen them to live in the Promised Land. The forty years that the Hebrews wandered in the wilderness taught them the necessity of absolute obedience to God if they were to avoid punishment in this life.

Hebrew people never were God's people because there were no Hebrews?

A:There certainly were Hebrew people, and they began settling in the Levantine hinterland around 1250 BCE. They eventually came to believe they were God's chosen people.Answer 2There are two main arguments made that the Hebrews were not God's people.1) There is no God: If there is no God, then the Hebrews could not have been His people. This is pretty straightforward. Or, if there were such a God, he would not have chosen one group of bronze age people to be "His People".2) Another Group Has Inherited the Mantle: In both Christianity and Islam, the rejection of the latest holy figure (Jesus and Mohammed respectively) resulted in the Jews losing the title of "God's People" on account of such rejection. Christians by and large have not accepted this replacement doctrine, Muslims have.
