Deuteronomy 24,13. “so that he can lie down to sleep ‎while in possession of his garment;” [legally, there ‎is no basis for this requirement. Ed.] The point the Torah ‎wishes to make is that just as G’d has imposed restrictions on ‎Himself in His relationship to His creatures, so the Israelite must ‎learn when to forego something that he is legally entitled to, so as ‎not himself to become an impediment to G’d’s flow of largesse to ‎mankind. The word ‎שכב‎ consisting of the three-headed letter ‎ש‎ ‎the first letter in the word ‎שלמה‎, “garment”, which symbolizes ‎this tzimtzum, voluntary restriction imposed upon oneself, ‎plus the letters ‎כב‎, allusion to the 22 letters in the aleph bet of ‎the Holy Tongue, alludes to this lofty concept.‎
