NASB | Jeremiah 34:18 'I will give the men who have transgressed My covenant, who have not fulfilled the words of the covenant which they made before Me, when they cut the calf in two and passed between its parts-- |
AMPLIFIED 2015 | Jeremiah 34:18 'The men who have violated My covenant, who have not kept the terms of the solemn pledge which they made before Me when they split the [sacrificial] calf in half, and then afterwards walked between its separated pieces [sealing their pledge to Me by placing a curse on themselves should they violate the covenant--those men I will make like the calf]! [Gen 15:9, 10, 17] |
Bible Question: Gen. 15:10-12 states that Abraham cut the animals in two parts. Can anyone tell me how he knew to do this? Was this an ancient custom? Is there a reference or place where can I find the answer? Thank you |
Bible Answer: Dear inform me... Welcome to the forum! Great question, by the way! The word covenant appears almost 300 times in the Scriptures. It was, indeed, a well understood concept at the time of Abraham. I'd say that it is a concept well known in many cultures, no doubt by the providence of God! The insipid teaching in our churches is probably why it is so poorly understood today. Understanding the concept of covenant is extremely important to understanding redemptive history. I would commend you to the following web site: http://preceptaustin.org/covenant_a_walk_into_death.htm That will give you a good solid start. However, it will take some effort to become informed! I hope that you will persevere in your effort to understand this doctrine. In Him, Doc |
