O Jacob "O Jacob, my servant" - After yaakob , a MS. of Kennicott' s, two of De Rossi' s, and the two old editions of 1486 and 1488, add the word abdi , "my servant," which is lost out of the present text; and there is a rasure in its place in another ancient MS. The Jerusalem Talmud has the same word.
I also am the last "I am the last" - For aph ani , "even I," two ancient MSS. and the ancient Versions, read veani , "and I;" more properly.
