Genesis 15:9-11

New Catholic Bible

⁹ He said, “Take a three-year-old heifer, a three-year-old she-goat, a three-year-old ram, a turtledove, and a young pigeon.”

¹⁰ He took all these animals and split them in two and placed each half opposite the other (except for the birds). ¹¹ Birds of prey landed upon the carcasses, but Abram chased them away.
