(Psalm 100:3) Isa. 63:9 9In all their affliction he was afflicted, and the angel of his presence saved them: in his love and in his pity he redeemed them and he bare them, and carried them all the days of old.

The great bulk of the alterations are corrections of errors made by mistaking one letter for another, or similar faults of the copyist but there are some variations of importance, and what may seem strange is that in the AV in some instances the keri is adopted and in others the chethib, without its being stated why. Several different accounts have been given as to the origin of these various readings, some endeavoring to trace them back to Moses others, to Ezra and others to the Sanhedrim so that there seems no reliable clue to their authority.
