NASB
"Then he brought all these to Him and cut them in two, and laid each half opposite the other; but he did not cut the birds."
— Genesis 15:10, NASB
“And he took unto him all these, and divided them in the midst, and laid each piece one against another: but the birds divided he not.”
“And he took him all these, and divided them in the midst, and laid each half over against the other: but the birds divided he not. ”
“He brought him all of these, and divided them in the middle, and laid each half opposite the other; but he didn't divide the birds.”
“So Abram took all these for him and then cut them in two and placed each half opposite the other, but he did not cut the birds in half.”
“And he took all these, and divided them in the midst, and laid the two pieces of each one against the other: but the birds he divided not.”
“All these he took, cutting them in two and putting one half opposite the other, but not cutting the birds in two.”
“And he took unto him all these, and divided them in the midst, and laid each piece one against another: but the birds divided he not.”
And He said to him, "I am the LORD who brought you out of Ur of the Chaldeans, to give you this land to possess it."
He said, "O Lord GOD, how may I know that I will possess it?"
So He said to him, "Bring Me a three year old heifer, and a three year old female goat, and a three year old ram, and a turtledove, and a young pigeon."
Then he brought all these to Him and cut them in two, and laid each half opposite the other; but he did not cut the birds.
The birds of prey came down upon the carcasses, and Abram drove them away.
Now when the sun was going down, a deep sleep fell upon Abram; and behold, terror and great darkness fell upon him.
God said to Abram, "Know for certain that your descendants will be strangers in a land that is not theirs, where they will be enslaved and oppressed four hundred years.
