As I read this passage vv 18-20, and compare it to the reference given (AMP Gen 15:9,10 17), in Gen it is the LORD who is confirming His covenant and yet in Jer, the AMP indicates that walking between the cut calf was Israel's pledge to the Lord. Are there any other instances in Scripture where something like this took place? Something about this situation - a human attempt to re-create a God-thing - bothers me. (Do we do this?) Reading Jer 34:13-16 I see a parallel between Israel's release from the bondage of Egypt - the Lord had them walk between the parted waters of the Red Sea! Yet notice the serious result of Israel's failure to keep their commitment to the Lord in veerse 16 - the Lord declared: "you turned and profaned My name." Comments? |

Mommapbs, The slaughter of animals and passing between the two half carcasses was a traditional covenant sealing ritual between two parties. The parties to the covenant would pass between the body pieces invoking upon themselves a fate similar to that of the slaughtered beast if they failed to keep their word or part of the covenant as pledged in the covenant agreement.
