cut in two, divide — to sever animals for covenant ceremonies
This verb describes the ritual cutting of animals in covenant-making ceremonies, appearing only in the foundational covenant scene of Genesis 15. Abraham cut animals in half and arranged the pieces, creating a pathway through which the divine presence passed, solemnizing God's promise of land and offspring. The Arabic cognate emphasizes cutting off or severing completely. Both occurrences in the same verse use different forms to describe this decisive, ceremonial division that accompanied the most solemn oaths in ancient Near Eastern treaty-making.

1. sense 1 — To cut animals in two for covenant ritual purposes. Both uses in Genesis 15:10 describe Abraham's preparation of sacrificial animals, severing them down the middle to create the sacred space through which God's glory would pass. The multilingual evidence (cut, partió, couper, zerteilte) consistently identifies this as a deliberate bisection, not mere butchering, emphasizing the ceremonial nature of covenant ratification. 2×
