Genesis 16:12

And himself he is becoming a swift-one605 of Red-one, his hand is in the Whole,606 and a hand of the whole is in-him—and upon the faces of the whole of his brothers he is dwelling.`607

607

Upon the faces. The Hebrew עַל means on, upon, or above. עַל־פְּנֵ֥י. This wording is the same as that found in Gen. 1:20 speaking of the birds, “upon the Earth, upon the faces of the expanse of the Dual-Heavens” Who are the brothers of Ishmael? He-Laughs, and six others: “Then again Father-of-Tumult took a wife, and her name was Keturah. And she bare him Zimran, and Jokshan, and Medan, and Midian, and Ishbak, and Shuah” Genesis 25:1-2. In Yahweh’s foreknowledge he speaks here of one of the eight builders of the Faith and calls him a “wild ass of adam.” A people not recorded from the multitude. He shall dwell = to settle down, abide, station, dwell. The name of Keturah, Father-of-Tumult’s concubine, means perfumed or smoke sacrifice (Strong’s #6999). It is of the builders of Keturah, of the Lower Earth, that the sacrificial “burnt-offerings” (literally, ascendings) of various earthly produce are made.
