Genesis 15:4

וְ הִנֵּה דְבַר יְהוָה אֵלָיו לֵ אמֹר לֹא יִירָשְׁךָ זֶה כִּי אִם אֲשֶׁר יֵצֵא מִ מֵּעֶיךָ הוּא יִירָשֶׁךָ
And behold, a word of Yahweh is toward him, saying, `This one is not inheriting you;557 but he who is coming out from your stomach,558 himself is inheriting you.`

The Prodigal BuilderIshmael

Strong’s #4578, meeh. Internal organs, stomach, belly, inward parts. This is emblematic of that part of the Body of Christ which is useless (1 Cor. 6:13, Mark 7:19, Matt. 15:17) but from which the prodigal builder(s) emerges,

And he was coveting to fill the belly of himself from the pods which the pigs were eating, and no one was giving to himself.” Luke 15:16 literal

Another hint: This can be related to the Scriptures’ use of the word vomiting. He-Laughs does not come forth from the “stomach” from out of a pig’s sty. That is Ishmael. He is Jonah, the one calling-out in the wilderness, the outcast, etc.
