“And because he loved thy fathers, therefore he chose their seed after them, and brought thee out in his sight with his mighty power out of Egypt;”
And because he loved your fathers, therefore he chose their seed after them, and brought you out in his sight with his mighty power out of Egypt; -- the love (ahavah) of the patriarchs is the basis for Israel's election. The progression: love of fathers -- choice of their descendants -- redemptive action. Love is the ground of election, not merit.
