MEDITATION
Genesis 15:9-11
9 So He said to him, “Bring Me a three-year-old heifer, a three-year-old female goat, a three-year-old ram, a turtledove, and a young pigeon.”
10 Then he brought all these to Him and cut them in two, down the middle, and placed each piece opposite the other; but he did not cut the birds in two.
11 And when the vultures came down on the carcasses, Abram drove them away.

《创世记 15:9-11》
9 他说:“你为我取一只三年的母牛,一只三年的母山羊,一只三年的公绵羊,一只斑鸠,一只雏鸽。”
10 亚伯兰就取了这些来,每样劈开分成两半,一半对着一半地摆列,只有鸟没有劈开。11 有鸷鸟下来落在那死畜的肉上,亚伯兰就把它吓飞了。
