and,fell Avram on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in his/its=faces/face

Make sure that the translation of this clause does not sound like Abram fell down accidentally. Rather, he intentionally threw himself to the ground out of deep respect for God. Alternate translation: “Then Abram prostrated himself before God to show him respect,”

Note 2 topic: writing-quotations
