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

“For himself is between brothers, he-is-causing-to-run/bear swiftly [para]…”

But this is interpreted for some reason as “to be fruitful”. See #6500.

a wild-ass/running-one [pere] is he-who-is-separated to-himself…” Hosea 8:9 literal
