7 Then he said to him, “I am the Lord who brought you from Ur of the Chaldeans, to give you this land to possess.”(A) 8 But he said, “O Lord God, how am I to know that I shall possess it?”(B) 9 He said to him, “Bring me a heifer three years old, a female goat three years old, a ram three years old, a turtledove, and a young pigeon.” 10 He brought him all these and cut them in two, laying each half over against the other, but he did not cut the birds in two.(C) 11 And when birds of prey came down on the carcasses, Abram drove them away.
