"God's law must be exalted, His authority maintained; and to the house of Israel was given this great and noble work. God separated them from the world, that He might commit to them a sacred trust. He made them the depositaries of His law, and He purposed through them to preserve among men the knowledge of Himself. Thus the light of heaven was to shine out to a world enshrouded in darkness, and a voice was to be heard appealing to all peoples to turn from idolatry to serve the living God. PK 16.1"

"For thou art an holy people unto the Lord thy God: the Lord thy God hath chosen thee to be a special people unto himself, above all people that are upon the face of the earth."
Both passages discuss God choosing Israel as a special people and entrusting them with a specific purpose. EGW expands on the purpose, but the core idea of chosenness is present in both.
"“With great power, and with a mighty hand,” God brought His chosen people out of the land of Egypt. Exodus 32:11 . “He sent Moses His servant; and Aaron whom He had chosen. They showed His signs among them, and wonders in the land of Ham.” “He rebuked the Red Sea also, and it was dried up: so He led them through the depths.” Psalm 105:26, 27 ; 106:9 . He rescued them from their servile state, that He might bring them to a good land, a land which in His providence He had prepared for them as a refuge from their enemies. He would bring them to Himself and encircle them in His everlasting arms; and in return for His goodness and mercy they were to exalt His name and make it glorious in the earth. PK 16.2"
Direct citation 97% Exodus 32:11
"And Moses besought the Lord his God, and said, Lord, why doth thy wrath wax hot against thy people, which thou hast brought forth out of the land of Egypt with great power, and with a mighty hand?"
Ellen White directly references Exodus 32:11 in this passage.
Direct citation 95% Exodus 6:6
"Wherefore say unto the children of Israel, I am the Lord, and I will bring you out from under the burdens of the Egyptians, and I will rid you out of their bondage, and I will redeem you with a stretched out arm, and with great judgments:"
EGW directly quotes Exodus 32:11 (incorrect citation, should be Exodus 3:20 or Deuteronomy 4:34 or similar) and alludes to the Exodus story, which is the central theme of Exodus 6:6. The connection is clear and intentional.
