The covenant ceremony between God and Abraham
- Abraham was in doubt about the promise of a son.
- God assured him that his son would inherit him and not Eliezer of Damascus.
- God showed Abraham the many stars and confirmed that his descendants would be like the stars.
- God asked Abraham to bring him a heifer, a goat, a ram, each three years old, a dove and a young pigeon.
- Abraham cut the animals into two and arranged the halves in two rows.
- The birds were not cut.
- He drove away the birds of prey that targeted the carcasses.
- At sunset, Abraham fell into a deep sleep.
- God spoke to him giving the promise that his descendants would be slaves for four hundred years but He would set to liberate them.
- Abraham was promised a long peaceful life.
- Abraham saw God pass through the carcasses in the form of a smoking fire pot and a flaming torch.
