[Now begins a discussion, which spans 7 chapters, that applies the difference of containers (attached and transparent revealers) and garments (detached cloaking concealers), to explain the story of Jacob and Laban. Namely, Jacob raising the stone as a pillar and Laban making from the stones a mound, with Jacob reflecting the level of atzilus, where the containers -- like luminescent stones -- are transparent channels of the energy, and Jacob transmits levels that are beyond the parsa (curtain). While Laban erects a mound of stones, with the intention of intensifying the concealment of the garments and curtains to impede the flow of energy from (malchus of} atzilus to biy"a. The higher Laban erects a "healthy" mound which is the parsa between keser and atzilus, allowing for the divine flow to enter existence without overwhelming it].
