| 10 | 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. | So Abram brought all these to Him, split each of them down the middle, and laid the halves opposite each other. The birds, however, he did not cut in half. | And he took him all these, and divided them in the midst, and laid each half over against the other: but the birds divided he not. |
