"The Virtue of Being Humble"
Rebbi Eliezer states: "Hashem says:
"I love the Jewish a whole lot, because even at a time when I grant and bestow greatness upon you, you humble yourselves before Me."
And this is exactly what Moshe Rabbeinu meant when he said before his death:
לא מרובכם מכל העמים חשק ה' בכם ויבחר בכם כי אתם המעט מכל העמים
"Not because you are greater than all the nations did Hashem desire you but because you are small in number "
Meaning:
Though המעט in the literal sense means a "relatively small number,"
the verse can also be understood as referring to Klall Yisroel's humility."
When Hashem bestowed greatness upon Avraham Aveenu and promised him that his children will grow into great nations and other blessings .... Avraham Aveenu responded:
ואנכי עפר ואפר "I am only earth and ashes"
When Hashem bestowed greatness and royalty to Moshe and Aharon ..... making Moshe a leader and Aharon the High Priest .....
they responded with humility:
ונחנו מה ..... "What are we?" in other words: "We are not worthy"
