Some words and terminology in the bible offers much wisdom to understanding undeniable truths as laid out in God's word.
The word 'Gentiles' from Hebrews also means 'nations'.
A study of some key words can prove that 'the Children of Israel' (COI) were the first people and nation that God called to worship Him.
Before the COI were a people, we can see that God was Abraham's God, Isaac's God, and Jabob's God. Why did God single out these men and not more people from the lineage of Noah?
The truth can show that 'The ten commandments' was first given specifically as a covenant made only between God and the Chidren of Israel. It's not a puzzling secret that laws are created to govern a people or nation rather than a few individuals.

Gentiles:
(Heb., usually in plural, goyim), meaning in general all nations except the Jews. In course of time, as the Jews began more and more to pride themselves on their peculiar privileges, it acquired unpleasant associations, and was used as a term of contempt.
In the New Testament the Greek word Hellenes, meaning literally Greek (as in [URL="http://www.blueletterbible.org/Bible.cfm?b=Act&c=16&v=1#1"]Act 16:1[/URL],3; 18:17; [URL="http://www.blueletterbible.org/Bible.cfm?b=Rom&c=1&v=14#14"]Rom 1:14[/URL]), generally denotes any non-Jewish nation.
These scriptures below show where prophesies are made about Gentiles nations would be coming into worship God. This proves that God had previously chosen only the COI to worship Him. Notice that from God's promise to Abraham (Gen12:3) to Paul being the chosen Apostle to the Gentiles. (Act 9:15) This ends the prophetic and brings on the day called a mystery.Rom 11:25 Rom 16:25
