Exegesis
This infinitive is further specified by the prepositional phrase epi pantos prosōpou tēs gēs {ἐπὶ παντὸς προσώπου τῆς γῆς | e-PI pan-TÓS pro-SŌ-pou tēs gēs}, literally “on all the face of the earth,” an idiom underscoring the global spread of humanity.
In context — Acts 17:26
And He made from one every nation of mankind to dwell on all the face of the earth, having determined appointed times and the boundaries of their habitation.
