9So He saidH559 to him, “1BringH3947 Me a threeH8027 yearH8027 oldH8027 heiferH5697, and a threeH8027 yearH8027 oldH8027 femaleH5795 goatH5795, and a threeH8027 yearH8027 oldH8027 ramH352, and a turtledoveH8449, and a youngH1469 pigeonH1469.” 10Then he 2broughtH3947 allH3605 theseH428 to Him and 3cutH1334 them 4in twoH8432, and laidH5414 eachH376 halfH1335 oppositeH7122 the otherH7453; but he 5did not cutH1334 the birdsH6833. 11The birdsH5861 of preyH5861 cameH3381 downH3381 upon the carcassesH6297, and AbramH87 droveH5380 them awayH5380.
