Musar zu Jeschijahu 44:21
זְכָר־אֵ֣לֶּה יַעֲקֹ֔ב וְיִשְׂרָאֵ֖ל כִּ֣י עַבְדִּי־אָ֑תָּה יְצַרְתִּ֤יךָ עֶֽבֶד־לִי֙ אַ֔תָּה יִשְׂרָאֵ֖ל לֹ֥א תִנָּשֵֽׁנִי׃
Bedenke dies, Jakob, und Israel, der du mein Knecht bist, ich habe dich mir zum Knechte gebildet; vergiss mich nicht, o Israel!
Shenei Luchot HaBerit
Abraham expressed the fear that his slave Eliezer would inherit him (Genesis 15,2). G–d told him: "Not this one will inherit you, but someone who is your very own issue will inherit you" (15,3). The message was that a different servant, i.e. Israel My servant will inherit you.
