In Genesis 15:10-11 of the King James Version of the Bible, it reads, “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 when the fowls came down upon the carcasses, Abram drove them away.”
These verses describe a significant event in the life of Abram, who later becomes known as Abraham. In this passage, Abram is commanded by God to take specific animals and birds and divide them in the middle. This act symbolizes a covenant between God and Abram. The animals represent a solemn commitment and an agreement between the two parties.
It is a powerful and symbolic moment where God establishes His covenant with Abraham, showing His faithfulness and promises to him. The presence of the birds that were not divided serves as a reminder that God will protect and keep His promises to His people. Abram’s actions of driving away the birds show his dedication and obedience to God’s command. This passage highlights the importance of faith, obedience, and the faithfulness of God in fulfilling His promises to His people.
