How it could have been different?
But the difference is there. You just didn't pay attention to it.
"Egypt my people" .
The Gentiles had prophets - Balaam in the book of
Numbers - a Gentile prophet.
Job - a Gentile holy man of God.
Jethro the priest of Midian - not of Israel.
God rebukes Israel by telling them they should not be over uppity that He delivered them from captivity. He also delivered OTHER nations from captivity. He once executed a deliverance to the Philistines of all people.
" Are you not like the children of the Cush to Me, O children of Israel? Declares Jehovah.
Have I not brought up Israel out from the land of Egypt, And the Philistines out from Caphtor, And Aram out from Kir? (Amos 9:7)
In contemplating your OP I wish to include thoughts in my exercising about how God, in His revelation, spoke of the non-Israelite nations at times.
For me its a fuller thought exercise. And the book of
Amos is a good place in the revelation where God lets Israel know that they are in many ways, like other loved nations to Him.
