Genesis 25:18

וַ יִּשְׁכְּנוּ מֵ חֲוִילָה עַד שׁוּר אֲשֶׁר עַל פְּנֵי מִצְרַיִם בֹּאֲכָה אַשּׁוּרָה עַל פְּנֵי כָל אֶחָיו נָפָל

And they are dwelling from Circle* until Wall, which is upon the faces of Dual-Siege, as you come in Straight-ward upon the faces of the whole of his brothers he has fallen.*


* Naphal, he has fallen. The sense is, “over the faces of his brothers he has fallen.” Cf. Genesis 11:28.
