• Two levels of concentration (כוונה) - animal type (דעת תחתון), and human type (דעת עליון). 

• Yaakov on the 'outside' and Moshe on the 'inside'. 

• Yaakov the servant - service of God comes with much toil, Yisrael the son - service of God without toil. 

• The level of Yisrael is given as a gift from God. To reach this sublime level one must preface the service of Yaakov - 'da'as tachton'. 

• Yaakov corresponds to the weekday, and Yisrael to shabbos - מי שטרח בערב שבת יאכל בשבת. 

• The 'offspring' of Yaakov - the Godly revelation brought about through his mode of service, is Yosef - additional revelation of divine pleasure. 

• Yosef represents the Godly revelation of shabbos and the times of moshiach. 

• Explanation why it mentions Yosef's age (בן שבע עשרה שנה).
